General Tire is Continental-owned and engineered for North American driving — Calgary potholes, BC mountain runs, and Deerfoot commuting. We stock the Altimax 365AW (all-weather), Altimax Arctic 12 (studded winter), Altimax RT45 (all-season), and Grabber H/TS60 (SUV all-season) at 111 42 Ave SW.

Why we recommend General in Calgary

General Tire was founded in 1915 in Akron, Ohio and acquired by Continental in 1987. They benefit from Continental's German engineering pipeline while being positioned for North American value-conscious buyers.

The Altimax 365AW is the General all-weather (3PMSF) — meets Alberta's winter-tire law year-round, comparable to Bridgestone WeatherPeak or Michelin CrossClimate2 at a noticeably better price. We install it often on sedans and crossovers for Calgary drivers who want one tire all year.

For dedicated winter, the Altimax Arctic 12 is studdable — built for serious cold-Canadian conditions. For trucks and SUVs, the Grabber H/TS60 handles daily highway runs and weekend gravel.

Every General we install gets the same balance, calibrated torque, and TPMS reset as our premium-priced jobs — and we price-match local Calgary competitors. Book installation or call (403) 452-4283.

Popular General models in Calgary

  • Altimax 365AW (All-Weather) — 3PMSF-rated all-weather — meets Alberta winter law year-round. Continental engineering at a friendlier price than CrossClimate2 or WeatherPeak.
  • Altimax Arctic 12 (Winter) — Studdable winter tire — built for cold-Canadian conditions. Run studless for daily driving or studded for icy rural commutes east of Calgary.
  • Altimax RT45 (All-Season) — All-season touring for sedans and crossovers. Long treadwear warranty, quiet on Deerfoot, well-priced for high-mileage commuters.
  • Grabber H/TS60 (All-Season) — All-season highway/touring for SUVs and light trucks. Quiet, comfortable, and tuned for vehicle weight on Calgary's Deerfoot and Stoney Trail.

How General performs in Calgary

Continental owns General Tire, so we sometimes pull a Grabber for trucks where Continental's own A/T price feels steep. Grabber A/TX handles Calgary's gravel-and-pavement mix; AltiMAX RT45 covers the all-season lane for sedans. Their winter Altimax Arctic 12 sees enough action in Cochrane and Airdrie commuter routes to keep us stocked through October.

Stocked General sizes installed same-day. Price-matched against any local Calgary competitor on the same model. Book your installation or call (403) 452-4283.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about buying tires

Is General a good tire brand?
Yes — General Tire is owned by Continental and benefits from German engineering at a North American value price. Solid build quality, reliable warranty service, and noticeably better value than Continental-branded equivalents.
What's the best General tire for Calgary winters?
For dedicated winter, the Altimax Arctic 12 (studdable) — built for cold-Canadian conditions including Calgary's -30°C January nights. For one-tire-year-round, the Altimax 365AW — 3PMSF rated, meets Alberta winter law.
How much do General tires cost in Calgary?
General tires at Prince Tires range from $160 to $280 per tire. Altimax Arctic 12 starts around $165 in 15" sizes; Altimax 365AW around $190; Altimax RT45 around $250; Grabber H/TS60 around $250 for SUV sizes.
Is the Altimax 365AW 3PMSF rated?
Yes. The Altimax 365AW carries the 3PMSF (three-peak mountain snowflake) symbol — meets Alberta's winter-tire law and the BC Highway 93 / Trans-Canada Banff mandate from October through April.
Can I get same-day General install in Calgary?
Yes for most stocked sizes if booked before midday. Altimax 365AW, Altimax Arctic 12, and Altimax RT45 are reliably in stock in common Calgary sizes. Grabber sizes for trucks need a 60-minute slot — call (403) 452-4283 to confirm.
Altimax 365AW vs Michelin CrossClimate2 — which one?
Both are 3PMSF-rated all-weather tires. CrossClimate2 is the premium-tier option with longer treadwear and quieter ride. Altimax 365AW uses similar technology at $80-120 less per tire. For Calgary daily commuters who want premium-adjacent at a friendlier price, the 365AW is our recommendation.
