General AltiMAX Arctic 12 Tires
General AltiMAX Arctic 12 is a studdable winter tire created for coupes, sedans, SUVs, and crossovers. The directional tread pattern and the extended central rib tread promote exceptional steering and confidence in dry handling, as well as improved tread life. The high-void angled tread grooves effectively evacuate water and slush from the tread to have a powerful grip to resist hydroplaning. AltiMAX Arctic 12 features optimized angled block edges and straight sipes in the center of the tread for additional biting edges to grab snow to increase the traction in slippery conditions. If the tire has studs installed, it can still provide low noise levels with the new computer-optimized spike sequence that meets the requirements of “Finnish Legislation”, therefore eliminating frequency peaks and guaranteeing enjoyable driving. The tire carries a three-peak mountain snowflake symbol, which means it met all criteria for it to use in severe winter conditions.
