works as advertised

have a new used 08 civic ex which handles well. wanted more 'stick' which these tires provide. there is actually more 'stick' than the car can use. on long corners the civic will start to slow as the tires hook up. only about 6,000 miles on them so far. wear looks average. gas mileage is down @ 1 mpg, perhaps due to more aggressive driving!? drove pretty well in the light snow we had this winter. rain handling is good.

Great price and performance

I bought these three months ago for my Subaru BRZ and in that time I have put several thousand miles on them.  I couldn't be happier, these tires are quiet and maintain their grip in wet and dry conditions.  I also have these tires on my Mazda and before that I used their AS-03s on a previous vehicle.

Good tire for the price

Bought this tire about 6 months ago for my Fiat 500 Abarth and I'm satisfied with it. I drive it like it's a go-kart often. The tires have good grip, even wear, good ride. They do get a bit noisy of you don't rotate often. Later time I checked I was at 7/32

Life Saver!

Replaced my stock Pirelli summer tires on the 15 Mustang GT and I can't believe the improvement. Its literally a night and day performance upgrade. I finally feel confident pushing the car a bit. Was forced to make a full speed tactical lane change and pulled off the move of a lifetime to avoid a serious highway wreck. Thank you General- if I was still wearing the Pirellis it would have been terrible.

Great Tires!

Bought them with all the positive reviews. Also, my local tire store highly recommended them as well. I have an AWD Subaru Crosstrek these tires are mounted on and live in FL. I have driven on the highway in crazy blinding down pours and the tires maintained a stable feeling stuck to the road amazingly. Two thumbs up to General for these awesome tires. Will purchase again for sure!!

Outstanding tire for 2000 Mercedes C280 Sport

I have a performance model Mercedes Benz C280 Sport and it requires tires that match the performance. This tire was specifically mentioned for my car. I narrowed it down between the General G-Max AS-05 and another recommended for car, made by Michelin. I did a lot of homework. I am familiar with Michelin and have been sold on them for years, but I was intrigued to try the AS-05 after reading a ton of material on it as well as having a positive experience with another set of Generals I had bought the year before. I am very, very happy with my decision and these tires perform! They ran less per tire than the Michelin, but Michelin loves their price premiums. This tires is well designed, runs quiet, and sticks to the road. I could not be happier. I recently recommended them to friends with a pristine 1998 BMW M3 and they are ecstatic with the performance. I am now a total believer in General Tires and will be buying from them in future.

Review

I purchased the first set and had to have them all replaced because they were defective. The second set that were replaced by supplier has a defective tire but since they ""road force"" tested these I cannot get the 2 that are bad replaced. I don't think I'll be buying general tires again .

I replaced the OEM Michelin tires with the G-Max AS 05

I replaced the OEM Michelin tires with the G-Max AS 05 40k miles ago.  I was a bit leery about putting this type of tires on a Ford C-Max and not replacing the OEM tires with a tire designed for high mileage.  Turns out the mileage didn't change much at all.  But the handling improved a lot.  So when it was time to replace them, I got the G-Max AS 05 again.

I really like this tire for my 2019 Model 3!

This is a great tire to replace your Micheline's.  I went to 255/35/18 and I can really feel better grip and handling.  I also get better rim protection because the tire is now a little wider than than the rim. I took one star of because they are definitely louder than the original Micheline tires that came with it.  The car is already kinda loud when going 75 so I don't really mind.

Fantastic value

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.
