4x4 Tyres
Wether you‘re driving on paved roads or navigating uncharted territory General Tire offers SUV and 4x4 drivers robust and durable tyres for every application. This is traditionally one of General Tire‘s core competences with its American heritage.
Wet grip
Tyres with high wet grip performance (A or B graded) have shorter braking distances on wet roads and are, therefore, safer in the rain. As with fuel efficiency, the D grade isn’t used and there are no plans to use G.
Fuel efficiency
Tyres account for up to 20% of your vehicle’s fuel consumption so, if you want to get more miles per tank of fuel, you should choose tyres with a high fuel efficiency rating. You will also lower your CO2 emissions. It comes down to rolling resistance i.e. the energy lost when a tyre is moving. The lower the rolling resistance, the less energy is lost and the lower your fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. The difference between an A-rated tyre and a G-rated tyre could be as much as 6 litres per 625 miles.
Rolling noise
This is the external noise made by the tyre and is measured in decibels. The more filled bars shown on the label, the louder the tyres.
Passenger tyres
ALTIMAX COMFORT
Shorter breaking distance
The Altimax Comfort has outstanding handling characteristics n wet conditions, as the tyre displaces the water from the tread. This also ensures shorter breaking distances.
Low fuel consumption and high mileage
The tread compound minimises rolling resistance. This keeps fuel consumption low and increases mileage
Very good steering response on wet roads and low risk of aquaplaning
The rigid tread give s the vehicle a high degree of stability on wet surfaces. This means the steering performance always remains precise, even in wet conditions, and the risk of aquaplaning in minimised.
VAI - Visual alignment indicator signals incorrect alignment
If the tread wears unevenly over the first 1,000km the Visual Alignment Indicator (VAI) signals this to the user. This significantly extends the service life of the tyre.
RTM - Replacement Tyre Monitor for greater safety
RTM technology tells the driver in good time when a tyre change is due, which increases safety.
SUV/4x4 tyres
GRABBER GT
100:0 on/off
Excellent wet braking performance
A lot of gripping edges provide a very high level of safety because of excellent grip in wet even when braking.
Outstanding handling performance on dry and wet roads
The Grabber GT has a high degree of rigidity and well-balanced tread structure. This ensures excellent handling n dry and wet roads.
High driving comfort due to reduced noise level
The robust tread minimises wear. Throughout the service life of the tyre it provides a comfortable ride and noise level is low.

GRABBER AT3
50:50 on/off
Experience exceptional grip
Innovative pattern design achieves exceptional off-road grip through gripping edges that interlock with loose surfaces. The tread shoulder ensures efficient self-cleaning action for added traction in mud.
Go off-road with confidence
Tread with robust compound and reinforced blocks ensure a long life even when in rugged terrain. Moreover, it delivers confident stability under all approved load conditions with ultra high-strength steel belts.
Enjoy maximum comfort
Uniform block geometry for an even material distribution and optimised tread block orientation for a smooth interaction with the surface: both features allow a considerably comfortable and pleasant on-road in an all-terrain tyre.
Sidewall lugs
Large sidewall lugs on the upper sidewall protect the tyre from stones, rocks and debris.
Deflection ribs
A series of stacked deflection ribs protect the upper sidewall area against penetration by deflecting obstacles away from the tyre body
Rim protection rib
Rim protection rib shields the tyre and wheel bead from damage caused by curbstones and off-road obstacles.
Commercial
Eurovan 2
Reduced risk of aquaplaning
Grooves displace water, reducing the risk of aquaplaning and increasing safety
Better handling and shorter breaking distances
The tread ensures very good transfer of forces. This results in improved handling and significantly shorter stopping distances
Lower noise level and thus greater ride comfort
The tyre is pleasantly quiet, the low noise level makes the ride more comfortable.
