First off, I'm not being paid to write this review. That being said, this is a great tire. I bought 4 of these in Sept. of 2018. I did a lot of research before I did. I wanted a high performance or ultra high performance tire that was also an all season tire since I was going to be making a 300 mile trip about every 6 weeks to visit my granddaughter and periodic trips to the Dr who was also about 300 miles (round trip) away. I wanted a tire that would provide great traction and a comfortable ride with minimum road noise. If I had searched for 5 years I would not have found a better tire but the added bonus here is it's ability to provide great traction in slippery conditions of snow and ice. Northeast MO had a more severe than usual winter this year with a lot of snow and ice. I don't remember this tire losing traction one time. I felt completely safe and in total control through everything this winter threw at me. It is worth putting on your vehicle for that reason alone. This will be my go to tire for everything from now on, it is that good!

Just had these tires installed on 2 vehicles and both sets have been great so far. The ride is smooth and more quiet than our previous brand tires. They have handled well in rainy conditions in warmer climates. No winter use yet, but am sure they will perform well in those conditions also.

I bought a 2009 Mazda 3 which had horrible tires on it, the G-MAX AS-05 tires transformed the car. Living in Seattle, wet traction is a priority and these tires are great in the rain.  The AS-05 also offer sharp steering response, wet or dry, a quiet and comfortable ride and don't cost a fortune.  All three of my vehicles now have General Tires on them.  General has become my preferred brand.

I'm a driver driver meaning I tear up the highways!! Bought these a year ago, so I had them through winter and summer. Where I live I usually have a problem getting out of in the winter with snow and ice and a small hill. But with these I get out no problem! Good on wet surfaces I speed a lot so I definitely put them to work good on corners and good stopping ability

After 6 months and 7000 miles these tires still lookand perform as new.  There were some comments on noise when looking at reviews prior to purchase but I have not had that experience.  The aggressive tread panel and clean sidewall make these a great looking high performance tire thay accesnts the look of my custom car.

I bought after much research. I really like how they wear and seem they will last a good while.  Only negative I noticed was that they tend to ""Hunt"" around on the freeway when I first purchased them, but not so much now. They are great tires and I'd buy them again.

I bought these tires in August and have gone through a michigan winter with them . I know snow tires are better for winter then all seasons but here in mid michigan the snow and ice don't stick around long enough to warrant dedicated snow tires . I am happy to report the G Max's performed in the snow and ice better then expected . I tried these tires as replacements for the BF Goodrich Gforce comp 2-as tires had previously . I loved the grip of the comp 2's but wanted to find something with a little smoother ride . These G Max tires are far smoother and quieter then the Comp 2's  even though they only offer about 8.5/10ths of the grip of the Comp 2's . The tread is lasting longer on the G Max's then the Comp 2's  did . The price of the G Max's and the overall improved ride quality I feel offers a fair trade off for the slight loss of overall grip compared to the Comp 2's . Great all around performance tire for my daily driver.

I bought these tires about 3 months ago for my 03 mustang. So far have been very pleased. Good traction dry and wet pavement. Really hoping they keep the traction their whole life, unlike some other brands. Have had issues with other brands rubber compound getting harder as the tires wear down, causing lose of wet traction.

I was re-introduced to these tires by the Dodge SRT engineers at Chrysler's at Carlisle running them on their Dodge Hellcats on the mini road course. When it came time to replace my OEM Goodyears on my 2016 Dodge Charger R/T Super Track Pack my tire guy recommended them as well so I gave them a shot. The last time I owned Generals was in the 1980's. What an impressive tire for the money! Smooth ride and handling and a rubber compound/tread design that sticks when you push them. I salute the General.  I believe their jingle back in the 1980's was ""sooner or later you'll own General"". Well this is my second set of G-MAX AS 05's and they are wonderful tires. If you do some spirited driving you'll want to give a set of these a shot. You won't regret it.

These tires handle great in wet and dry weather.  The cornering is outstanding.  But the noise is unbearable and outweighs all the positives.  They were relatively quiet for the first couple thousand miles, but now I'm just going to have to replace them with barely any wear.
