General AltiMAX Arctic 12 is a studdable winter tire. It was developed to meet the industry's severe snow service requirements. As a result, it has a 3PMSF symbol on the sidewall. This model is a very suitable tire option for a wide range of passenger cars and CUVs.
Above all, General AltiMAX Arctic 12 features a silica enriched tread compound shaped into a directional tread pattern. In addition, the arrow-shaped center rib provides superb steering feel for confident turning on dry, wet and snowy roads. Compared to the previous generation of this tire, the new one optimizes tread contour, to ensure great pressure distribution across the contact area for improved wear. Moreover, angled tread grooves with full depth sipes allow rapid water and slush dispersion from the footprint to combat the risk of hydroplaning, while serrated sipes provide more biting edges for confident traction in snowy and slippery road conditions.
For safety reasons, this model comes with durable casing construction that presents a polyester casing beneath two wide, steel belts. If it is not enough, a spirally wound, polyamide cap ply guarantees precise steering and provides great durability at high speed.
General AltiMAX Arctic 12 is present on the market in a wide range of sizes. More exactly starting from 14 to 19-inch rim diameters, with 12/32" depth tread.
