Top General Tire Winter Series

General Tire and Rubber Company was founded in 1915 in Akron, Ohio, initially producing tire repair materials before expanding into tire manufacturing.
Altimax Arctic Studdable Winter / Snow tires in sizes for sports cars, coupes, sedans, minivans, and crossover vehicles, as well as Altimax Arctic LT Light Truck/SUV Studdable Winter / Snow tires in Load Range D or Load Range E sizes for heavy-duty pickup trucks, sport utility vehicles, full-size vans, and commercial vehicles, are available from General Tire. To improve grip on hard-packed snow and ice roads, traditional metal studs* can be applied to the shoulder and intermediate tread blocks.
General Tire manufactures commercial truck tires in addition to tires for automobiles, crossovers, sport utility vehicles, and light trucks, which are sold through Wheelrack.

General's Studdable Winter/Snow tire, the AltiMAX Arctic 12, is geared for drivers of coupes, sedans, crossovers, and SUVs searching for assured performance and classic wintertime traction on dry, wet, and snow-covered roads.

The General AltiMAX Arctic 12 tires are made with a winter-specific material that is molded into a highly directed tread pattern. When compared to the previous-generation tire, the arrow-shaped, strong central rib delivers a solid on-center feel and steering response, and the enhanced tread contour aids in pressure distribution across the footprint for improved wear. To prevent hydroplaning, high-void, angled grooves and wide lateral notches drain water and slush from the contact patch, and strategically slanted tread blocks and serrated sipes give additional biting edges for a confident grip in slippery circumstances.

The AltiMAX Arctic 12's internal architecture comprises a high-turn-up polyester shell beneath two wide steel belts. A spirally coiled polyamide top ply improves handling while also providing high-speed durability.

The Grabber Arctic is a Light Truck/SUV Studdable Winter / Snow tire manufactured by General Tire for drivers of pickup trucks, sport utility vehicles, and vans searching for traction on slushy, snow-covered, and icy roads during the winter. Grabber Arctic winter tires are built to accept optional metal studs and are designed to provide traction in near-freezing and below-freezing situations.

Grabber Arctic tires have a tough cut- and chip-resistant winter compound that keeps suppleness even in subzero temperatures. This material is shaped into a broad, directional tread pattern with a central row of tread blocks bordered by independent intermediate blocks and squared-off shoulders. The intermediate and shoulder blocks have angled interlocking light truck winter sipes for dry and wet performance, as well as snow-biting surface edges. In deep snow, diagonal and zigzag sipes work together to increase three-dimensional traction. To improve grip on hard-packed snow and ice roads, alternate rows of optional metal studs can be put into the shoulder and intermediate tread blocks.

The wide, flat footprint of the Grabber Arctic tire is supported by ultra-high-strength steel belts reinforced with spirally wrapped nylon for superior penetration resistance and equal footprint pressure for great braking and assured stability under all allowed load circumstances. General Grabber Arctic tires are branded with the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) mark and meet the industry's harsh snow service criteria.

The Grabber Arctic LT is a Light Truck/SUV Studdable Winter / Snow tire created by General Tire for drivers of heavy-duty pickup trucks, sport utility vehicles, full-size vans, and commercial vehicles searching for grip on slushy, snow-covered, and icy roads in the winter. Grabber Arctic LT winter tires are designed to provide traction in near-freezing and below-freezing temperatures. They are available in heavy-duty Load Range E sizes and are contoured to accept optional metal studs.

Grabber Arctic LT tires have a tough cut- and chip-resistant winter compound that keeps suppleness even in subzero temperatures. This material is formed into a wide, symmetric tread pattern with two rows of interlocking center blocks surrounded by independent intermediate blocks and squared-off shoulders.
To improve handling and braking in all weather conditions, the intermediate and shoulder blocks have reinforcing buttresses on their sides, and the shoulder blocks are circumferentially joined by stepped reinforcement bars. Light truck winter sipes with angled interlocking edges combine dry and wet performance with snow-biting surface edges. Tread block buttresses, stepped reinforcement bars, and bottom-of-groove snow traction ridges all contribute to improved three-dimensional traction in deep snow. To improve grip on hard-packed snow and ice roads, alternate rows of optional metal studs can be put into the shoulder and intermediate tread blocks.

The wide, flat footprint of the Grabber Arctic LT tire is supported by ultra-high-strength steel belts reinforced with spirally wrapped nylon to provide remarkable penetration resistance and equal footprint pressure for great braking and assured stability under all allowed load circumstances.
