I WILL BUY THIS TIRE AS FOR AS LONG AS THEY MAKE IT!!!

I purchased 4 of theses tires in the fall of 2018. It was the best decision I ever made. They are beyond excellent. They are very quiet, no road noise. They are durable, they still look like they're brand new. They preform extremely well in wet conditions and especially in snowy or icy conditions. I will continue to buy this tire for as long as they continue to make it. It is my go to tire and I'm glad I found it. PS - no one is paying me to say this, I just love this tire. Buy em, you'll like em too!

HYDROPLANE crazy on wet roads on the FWY!!!

Not that good traction on dry roads and definitely not good on wet roads! These tires hydroplane on the freeway. I'm not talking about loosing tractions when accelerating. When hitting minor puddles on the freeway the rear end swings from lane to lane!

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.

Finally found a tire doesn't wear out prematurely

My car (Lexus IS 350 F Sport - AWD) is known for going through tires very quickly (typically 15,000 - 18,000 miles). After trying tires by Bridgestone (OEM), Cooper and Continetal, I finally tried the General Tire G-Max AS 05's. I have just purchased my second set of the G-Max tires and I have been very happy with them in terms of handling, lack of road noise, durability, etc. The fact that they are competitively priced means I will likely stick with these tires for as long as I own this car.

Great Tire

I bought a set of these tires for my 2014 VW Jetta TDI a few months ago. I just got them rotated for the first time around 5,000 miles and still loving them. They provide a very smooth ride. There is also very little road noise from these tires. My favorite thing about these tires is their sporty look as compared to other tire options in this size.   These are my second set of General tires. I also put a set on my Toyota 4runner, and the tires were great for that vehicle too. These tires are very high quality for the affordable price you pay.

Great tires for a great price

I switched to these from the old AS-03 models. I originally came to General after being dissatisfied with my Khumos on my E46 M3. Those changed colors to dark purple after a few days in the sun, and felt really soft. These generals have been my go to as they last a long time, handle really well (grips exceptionally well in high speed cornering), and is a great value. My tires from General have been made in France, Mexico, and America, so no worries about quality thus far. I will definitely continue to buy more general tires. I want to say that I swap out my tires at 20,000 miles prematurely (due to nails strangely enough) and the treads were still great on them. I will say that I do have a staggered setup so that has some play on tire life as well.

A very good tire for the price.

I don't daily drive my Camaro SS. But I've put around 5,000 miles on them so far. I consider them a very good tire for the price. I basically drive aggressively in a straight line only. So I really can't tell you how they do in curves. But IMO I think they would do good in the curves. The reason why I say that, is because they do good in the wet. So far, there not noisy and they take bumps good. After I try out some Toyos and they disappoint me, I'll go back to the G-Max AS-05'S, if there still a good price.

Sporty tire good all around snow OK

I bought these tires September 2018 and now it's April 2019.  I have them on my 2008 Subaru Impreza Sport.  They are sporty, handle well, tight corners, great grip on dry and wet.  In Norther Utah snow they don't perform as well as a snow tire of course but do pretty well.  I'm sure the AWD helps.  I've gone skiing multiple times in the snow and have only slid once although I'm quite experienced in snow driving.  Price was great.  Tread wear descent.  Noise seems fine.  Really fun tire to drive on and performs well in all conditions.

FRENCH-MADE WITHOUT THE EXOTIC FRENCH PRICE

THIS IS MY 3RD SET OF REPLACEMENT TIRES FOR MY FIAT ABARTH, AND THESE COULD BE THE BEST YET. QUIET, EXCELLENT HANDLING AND WEAR CHARACTERISTICS, EVEN DECENT ON THE MINIMAL AMOUNT OF SNOW WHERE I LIVE [MUCH BETTER THAN THE LAST SET OF EURO-BRAND TIRES I HAD].  AND WHEN I GOT THEM AND CHECKED THE SIDEWALL AND SAW THEY WERE MADE IN FRANCE, NOT CHINA, I THOUHT  ''C'EST MAGNIFIQUE'.  GREAT BUY.  [note to Abarth owners; you CAN easily run 205/45-16's like these tires in place of OEM 195/45-16's]

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.
