Shopping General in Las Vegas? Las Vegas Tire Shop stocks and orders across the General range for drivers in Las Vegas, NV. 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.

What General costs installed in Las Vegas
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 is a value-tier brand built by Continental, aimed at drivers who want known engineering at a lower price than Continental's own tires — not the cheapest option, a considered one. The lineup runs from the all-season AltiMAX RT45 and all-weather AltiMAX 365AW to the winter-rated AltiMAX Arctic 12, plus three Grabber lines for pickups and SUVs.
General is built by Continental but sold under its own name as a separate, lower-priced tier — shared engineering, not a shared price tag. That makes it a sensible match for a driver who wants to spend less without buying the cheapest tire on the rack: a daily commuter, a car headed toward a lease return, a second vehicle that doesn't need a premium ride. A driver chasing the longest possible tread life, or a name tied to motorsport and luxury original equipment, is better served by a different tier entirely.
The range covers more ground than a value brand usually does — touring all-season, all-weather with winter capability, a performance-leaning all-season, three separate truck and SUV grades, and a dedicated winter tire. Picking the right one is less about the badge and more about matching the tread to how the car is actually driven.
Which General line actually fits this car and this driving?
General groups its lineup by use rather than by price point, and the gap between the mildest and most aggressive options is wide.
- AltiMAX RT45 — a touring all-season built for sedans and minivans; the quiet, predictable daily-driver choice.
- AltiMAX 365AW — an all-weather tire carrying the severe-snow (3PMSF) rating, for a driver who wants one set year-round rather than swapping for winter.
- G-MAX AS-07 — an ultra-high-performance all-season for a car built to corner, trading some ride softness for sharper response.
- Grabber HTS60 — a highway all-season for pickups and SUVs that spend most of their time on pavement.
- Grabber A/TX — an all-terrain step up for a truck or SUV that splits time between pavement and unpaved roads.
- Grabber X3 — a mud-terrain tire built for off-road use first, with the on-road manners that implies.
- AltiMAX Arctic 12 — a dedicated winter tire, for a driver who wants the most grip ice and snow can offer rather than an all-weather compromise.
What has to be confirmed before any of these gets ordered?
Check the size, load index and speed rating on the door placard — the sticker on the driver's door jamb — rather than reading them off the tires currently mounted; a previous owner or a prior repair can leave a car wearing the wrong size.
Look at the sidewall for the DOT code's last four digits before anything is mounted. Those four digits are a week and a year, so a tire that's sat around for a while before the sale isn't necessarily a problem, but it's worth knowing before it goes on the car rather than after.
How does a General warranty actually pay out, and does the desert change anything?
Tread warranties on General tires, like most manufacturer warranties, are pro-rated against the tread remaining when a claim is filed rather than refunded in full partway through the tire's life. The usual exclusions apply: wear caused by misalignment, damage from running underinflated, and curb or impact damage are not covered regardless of how much tread is left. Terms differ by line, so ask which warranty applies to the specific line being quoted rather than assuming it's the same across the range.
Las Vegas adds two conditions worth weighing against that lineup: sustained desert heat, which accelerates tread wear on any tire regardless of brand, and the occasional snow that makes the case for either the all-weather 365AW or, for a driver who wants more margin, the dedicated Arctic 12.
Is General just a cheaper Continental?
It shares Continental's engineering and manufacturing but is sold as its own brand at its own price point, not a rebadged version of a Continental tire. The positioning is deliberate: a step above the cheapest tires available, not a discount on a premium one.
Can one tire handle both summer heat and the occasional snow here?
The AltiMAX 365AW is built for that — it carries the severe-snow (3PMSF) rating as an all-weather tire, so it doesn't need to be swapped out for winter. A dedicated winter tire like the AltiMAX Arctic 12 will still out-grip it in sustained snow and ice, if that matters more than running one set year-round.
Will the warranty cover a tire that wore unevenly?
Not if the uneven wear traces back to misalignment — that's one of the standard exclusions, along with underinflation damage and curb or impact damage. Ask which specific terms apply to the line being quoted, since coverage differs across the General range.
