Subject:      Gerneral Altimax RT Tire

Guys,

I don't want to start another tire thread, but since I'm having to repace my new/old Michelin tires that are seperating, I'm looking at alternatives for my 14" alloy wheels.

I came across the General Altimax RT tire in a 205/70TR14 size.  I've put a link to the tire rack page below.  What caught my attention is the 98T rating, the 1653 lb. load rating, the 51 psi pressure and the 70,000 mile warranty and the $52.00 price.  A local shop can put these on my van for just under $150.

Any thoughts on this one?
