We're unsure about love at first sight, but the General AltiMAX Arctic 12 demonstrates a strong affinity for handling snow and ice. These snow tires offer exceptional winter performance at affordable prices. The AltiMAX Arctic 12 is engineered to provide excellent traction in inclement winter weather. Even without studs, it grips well in snow and on ice. However, adding studs transforms it into a tire that can conquer the harshest winter driving conditions. Constructed with a directional tread pattern, the Arctic 12 effectively clears water and slush, delivering superior traction in adverse weather conditions. Its silica-enhanced tread compound ensures a firm grip on the road, even at temperatures below 45 degrees. The tire's directional tread pattern, featuring angled grooves and lateral notches, provides strong traction on ice and snow, guaranteeing a secure hold when faced with freezing temperatures. Additionally, the Arctic 12 possesses several performance features, including 3D Winter Sipes that reduce tread squirm and improve grip on ice and snow. It is certified for use in severe winter weather, marked with the Three Peak Mountain Snowflake symbol. The tire's Snow Traction Ridges securely grip the road, penetrating deep snow for confident traction. It also features an arrow-shaped central rib for reliable steering response in any weather conditions. Furthermore, the Arctic 12 is pinned for winter stud usage, maximizing traction on icy surfaces. When it comes to treadwear and warranty, the AltiMAX Arctic 12 is optimized to provide exceptional winter traction while evenly distributing the weight of your vehicle on the road. This design reduces uneven treadwear, offering reliable performance season after season. Although the tire does not come with a manufacturer mileage warranty due to its focus on winter performance, you can opt for our exclusive Certificates to ensure road hazard coverage.
