General Reliatrek

[Picky1]

Just about time for tires again for our 2015 Toyota Sienna LE (FWD), our General RT43’s are due for replacement. Just was starting to look to see if I could find a rebate or sale on some Generals and I saw that Toyota is offering $100 off a set of four tires and they offer General Reliatrek, never heard of this model. Any feedback on these tires? Any good for driving in the Northeast?

looks like a budget passenger car tire. Probably a downgrade from the rt-43 but who knows for sure.
Also if you are interested in snow traction you should focus/consider All-weather tires.

The reviews look good.

If you don’t mind a slightly higher price and you liked the RT43 tires, research the General AltiMax RT45.

Personally, I make it a habit not to install “value tires” on anything I drive.

Let us know what you end up buying.

If you don't use separate tires for winter, you're better off with the AW365, if available in your size

Thanks all for your insight, we were running separate snow tires (Cooper TrueNorth), but they are worn out as well. As I am sure you are aware minivans eat tires...you are lucky if you get 30,000 on a set of tires. (Yes I rotate the tires every time I change the oil, keep the car aligned, and have replaced the front struts)

Definitely interested in a set of all-weather tires, just concerned about spending the extra money on AW tires espeically since they would most probably wear even faster than normal all-seasons.
