    Product Details

    Snow Peak Rated

    The 3 Peak Mountain Snowflake symbol indicates the tire is rated for Severe Snow Service. This is the acceptable standard for winter driving in Canada and provides improved safety on snow and ice.

    Mud And Snow Rated

    The M+S symbol differentiates an All-Season tire from a Summer only tire. While rated for light snow, they will not match a winter tire for traction or stopping distance on snow and ice.

    Accepts Studs

    This tire can have studs installed to provide additional mechanical traction on icy surfaces. Studded tires are prohibited by law in many provinces. Ask at your local Canadian Tire store.

    • General Tire Altimax Arctic Tire features a multi-angle sipe system enhances traction in high-angled turns and straight-ahead driving

    • Innovative and unique Quad-Tech Technology provides improved handling and exceptional traction on snow and ice covered surfaces

    • Directional tread pattern amplifies water evacuation to resists hydroplaning and improve steering balance

    • All-weather dual tread compound provides exceptional cold-weather flexibility and outstanding wet traction

      Broken belt

      2 years ago
      Broke a belt on one of my winter tires and decided to buy two of these. Would have bought a set of 4 but there was only 3 tires at 3 different stores this side of the Quebec border so I travelled to two separate locations to get a set of 2

      Yes, I recommend this product.

      Lacking somehow in grip

      5 years ago
      These were installed on an Audi Q5 (all wheel drive) a few years ago. I no longer have the car but I remember a few things. The tires were purchased new, and were used on 17in SUV wheels. I do remember climbing a long steep road before the city trucks came to plow the snow. Basically, all FWD and RWD cars were stuck on the incline, the Audi equipped with the Altimax had no trouble climbing the road. That said, I did notice the tires would have a tendency to slip a little too easy on almost all snow conditions, deep snow, slush and ice - obviously, on ice pretty much any non studded tire will spin, but I was surprised about the amount of spinning on snow with these tires, even with gentle acceleration. For the same amount of money I had other brands which would not spin this easily. I rate this tire average - it doesn't mean it's a bad tire, it's just that it performs better than cheap winter tires, but less well than other brands at the same price.

      Much better than Motormaster Winter Edge!

      5 years ago
      I replaced these tires (which were great) with the Motormaster Winter Edge tires and immediately noticed that the new tires had much less grip. After two seasons, the mechanic mentioned that the Motormasters are quite worn and I may only get one more season out ot them. I compared the tread to the old Altimax Arctic tires (I had switched it to a barely used car) and the tread on the Altimax Arctic was deeper (and had 68,000km on it vs 29,000 for the Motormaster ones). I would definitely buy the Altimax Arctic tires again! (But I recommend not buying the Motormaster ones)

      Yes, I recommend this product.

      Just got a set and will report back

      7 years ago
      I just had 4 225/60/16 installed on my Fusion SE and will report back at the end of winter. I don't expect them to perform like my Dunlop Wintersport 3D's which for me are one of the best winter tires I have ever driven on, but we will see. I am confident based on many reviews I have read that they will do well. I hope so...
