Great overall performance value

Purchased these 10 months ago for a Dodge Charger Pursuit. 245/55R18 size, police 18" wheels. This car has been modified as a do it all performance car. It's supercharged, and custom tuned. It's used for drag racing, commuting, a comfortable trip car, and open road racing. It's done two Silver State events with no issues at speeds up to 140 MPH sustained. 120 MPH average for 90 miles at a time. These have been great overall tires, and we now have 9000 miles on them to rate them. These are a W rated tire (168mph) and will pass tech into the next division. Very stable at speed doing the closed course stuff. I trust these with me and my wife (navigator).

Perfect Budget Versatile All-Season Tires

These tires have been great to me. I live in the PNW and purchased these 800 miles after purchasing my WRX to replace the stock Dunlop summer tires (in my opinion, road conditions here hardly allow for the advantage of a summer/winter swap). I've been able to handle conditions including heavy rain and even more recently with deep snow and ice. It's hard to really pinpoint the benefits of the tires with the WRX's AWD, however I feel highly confident driving with General GMAX AS-05s. I think these are the perfect budget versatile all-season option providing safety while not sacrificing performance.

Fiat 500L tire replacement

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.

Mustang GT Hooks up!

2013 Mustang GT with 436 Horsepower does not spin these tires much at all, it just hard launches!  Much more dry traction than 3 years on Michelin Pilot Super sports.  Ride quality is much better than the rock hard super sports because sidewall is a little softer.  Turn in response is not as immediate as the super sports but ultimate cornering grip is very close.  I love my car again after getting rid of the rock hard riding summer tires.  These hook up at all temperatures which make the car a blast 12 months a year instead of just 4! They look better also.

Very good traction

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.

Great grip but.......

Tires grip in wet and dry very good.  Snow no go.  Only draw back is when tires are cold there must be flat spots that make the tires vibrate alot.  i still have a small vibration once they warm up,  had them re-balanced twice. Maybe the rims? they were purchased new with the tires, Tolerable but not perfect.Price was good  225x45R18

GMAX AS-05 Driving is not for You

Got these for Audi A4  Avant. Great reviews, with note of some tire ""growl"".  100 mile on the road and the sound of tires was so LOUD that I could not take a phone call and hear the caller!   NOISEY NOISEY NOISEY! Got out of them with A Continental - too bad - big fan of General on my 4Runner.

Loudest Performance Tire on the Road

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.

Quiet, decent grip, good for street driving

2017 BRZ, occasional autocross.  This tire does not hold up well in autocross.  Not enough grip for racing, BUT... This is an excellent tire for the road!  Quiet, grippy on the road for normal driving.  I am a spirited driver and street driving it completely satisfied me.  Way more than enough grip than you need, but just not for autocross, as expected.    This tire squeal when they approach their limit, which is good warning sign, especially for drivers who is not familiar with the limited state of their car.

Good tire once the flat spot goes away

When my car has been sitting all night or day, the tires seem to flat spot and the ride is bumpy for a few miles until the flat spot works it's way out. Other than that they are good tires. Traction seems to be really good in the rain (haven't had snow since I bought them) and they have a former sideway than the Michelins I had so they don't seem to roll in curves. Probably not the traction of the Michelins on a track but I don't drive in a track and they give me a more stable feeling in curves at road speeds.
