Shopping General in Oklahoma City? Oklahoma City Tire Shop stocks and orders across the General range for drivers in Oklahoma City, OK. The badge on the sidewall matters less than which line inside it suits how you actually drive, and what that line costs once it is on the car — so tell us the vehicle and the miles you put on it, and we will tell you which General is worth your money and which one is not.
The General range, by what each line is for
These are General’s main current lines. Not every line comes in every size, so tell us the size off your sidewall and we will tell you which of these fit your car and what each one costs installed.
- AltiMAX RT45 — touring all-season for sedans and minivans
- AltiMAX 365AW — all-weather with a severe-snow (3PMSF) rating
- G-MAX AS-07 — ultra-high-performance all-season
- Grabber HTS60 — highway all-season for pickups and SUVs
- Grabber A/TX — all-terrain for pickups and SUVs
- Grabber X3 — mud-terrain for off-road use
- AltiMAX Arctic 12 — dedicated winter tire
What General costs installed in Oklahoma City
A General price that is only the tire is not a price. Our quote is the out-the-door total: the tires, mounting, balancing, new valve stems or TPMS service kits, disposal of the old set, and tax. And before anything is mounted we read you the DOT code off the sidewall — the last four digits are the week and year that tire was built, because new is not a date.
General pairs Continental engineering with a lower price tier, spanning touring sedans (AltiMAX RT45, AltiMAX 365AW) through work trucks and off-road use (Grabber HTS60, A/TX, X3) plus a dedicated winter tire (AltiMAX Arctic 12). Match the line to the vehicle and driving, verify the door-placard size and DOT date, and ask which warranty terms apply to the one you're quoted.
General sits a tier below Continental's own badge but shares its engineering — the pitch is a sensible budget tire, not a cheap one. That distinction matters most once you look at how wide the catalog actually runs: touring tires for a sedan or minivan, a dedicated winter tire, and three separate truck and SUV lines that go from daily highway driving to actual mud.
If what you want is the lowest number on the invoice with no regard for how long the tread lasts, General isn't built for that — the Continental engineering behind it costs something even at this tier. If you want that construction without paying for the Continental name itself, this is the brand worth looking at closely.
Which General line actually matches what you drive?
Daily sedans and minivans fall under the AltiMAX name: the RT45 is a straightforward touring all-season, while the 365AW adds an all-weather rating with the three-peak-mountain snowflake (3PMSF) certification, meaning it's built to stay on the car through winter rather than being swapped out. For something sportier, the G-MAX AS-07 is General's ultra-high-performance all-season line.
Trucks and SUVs split three ways: the Grabber HTS60 is a highway all-season built for comfort on pavement, the Grabber A/TX is the all-terrain step up for mixed driving, and the Grabber X3 is a mud-terrain tire built specifically for off-road use. Pick based on how much of your driving is actually off pavement, not on how the tread looks sitting still.
Do you need the all-weather tire or the dedicated winter tire?
Oklahoma City gets cold enough in winter that the choice between the AltiMAX 365AW and the AltiMAX Arctic 12 is worth thinking through rather than defaulting to the all-season. The 365AW carries the 3PMSF winter certification but stays on the car all year; the Arctic 12 is a dedicated winter tire, meant to be mounted for the season and swapped back off once the weather turns. If you'd rather not deal with a seasonal swap, look at the all-weather tire; if you want the most grip a cold morning can get you, ask about the dedicated winter tire instead.
What should you check before any General goes on the car, and how does the warranty hold up?
Match the line to the car and how you drive it, then confirm the size, load rating and speed rating stamped on the door placard rather than the tire currently mounted. Check the sidewall too — the four-digit DOT date tells you the week and year the tire was built, and it's worth looking at before anything gets mounted, not after.
Treadwear coverage on a General tire is pro-rated against the tread you've actually used, not a flat refund, and it typically excludes damage from misalignment, underinflation, curbs and impacts. Terms differ across the lineup, so ask specifically which warranty applies to the line you're being quoted — a touring AltiMAX and an off-road Grabber X3 aren't covered the same way.
Is General a good tire, or just a cheap one?
It's positioned as Continental's engineering at a lower tier, which is a different thing from a true budget tire — expect more consistency than the cheapest options on the shelf, without paying for the Continental badge itself. It's a sensible pick, not a premium one.
Should I get the AltiMAX 365AW or the AltiMAX Arctic 12?
The 365AW is an all-weather tire with winter certification that stays on year-round; the Arctic 12 is a dedicated winter tire you'd mount seasonally. If you don't want to swap tires twice a year, look at the 365AW; if you want maximum cold-weather grip, ask about the Arctic 12 instead.
Will the Grabber X3 work as a daily-driver tire?
It's built as a mud-terrain tire for off-road use, which is a different job than a highway tire like the Grabber HTS60. If most of your driving stays on pavement, ask about the HTS60 or the A/TX instead and save the X3 for a truck that actually sees dirt.
