TrueContacts are designed and made for Low Rolling Resistances.
The Altimax makes no such claims
Although the Altimax doesn't make that claim, so far I haven't noticed a loss of range on my Volt relative to the stock Goodyear Assurance Fuel Max tires that were on it before. I've only had the Generals about a week but my miles per kwh has been very consistent over the last 3 years so I would notice a loss.
If LRR is a thing for anybody, I would highly suggest the Michelin Energy Saver A/S tires. They are tops for LRR in tirerack.com tests, tops for LRR by GM-Chevy Bolt OE standards, and the same usage in Ford Focus Electric and the current Chevy Volt. Some evidence that Bridgestone Ecopias are almost as LRR though. OEM's are picking the Michelin big-time these days when CAFE or electric range really matters.
