Product description
- Summer tyre for city and compact cars.
- Shorter wet braking distances.
- Good handling stability.
Tyre designed for city and compact cars, the General Tire Altimax Comfort delivers better wet road performance than the Altimax RT.
Safety. Shorter braking distances on wet roads than its predecessor thanks to a special tread compound combined with lateral grooves. Wide circumferential grooves and inner shoulder blocks connected with tie bars reduce the risk of aquaplaning.
Handling. The stiff outside shoulder blocks of the asymmetric tread ensure good stability.
What is the rezulteo score?
The rezulteo score is calculated considering three performance categories: economy, comfort and safety. When it comes to winter tyres, the performance criteria snow and ice are added. By weighting different basic performance criteria an overall score is determined. This weighting is calculated based on the tyre size category: economic, high performance or sports.
