A good all season tire.

I bought these last year for my wife and I liked them so much that I even bought a set for my car, they inspire confidence in wet and dry handling they are well balanced and do everything we need them to.

Will be buying again

This is a great tire.  I have these tires on my Lexus and am satisfied after I just went through a set of Continental S-04 Pole Positions in 14,000 miles.  These are a great all around tire and definitely stand up against Continental, Goodyear, and other mega names.  Well done General.

Performance-first criteria

I bought these tires for my 2004 M3 so performance was a priority, but I needed performance on a budget.  The tires have not disappointed on heavy cornering.  The other things I needed was a quiet ride that was not harsh.  All this considering the fronts are 225 40/19 and the rears are 255 35/19.  The final decision to chose these was that they are not directional so I could rotate them side to side.  All in all I am very pleased with my purchase.

Awesome Tire

This is an amazing tire. I previously had the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S3+ and they were so noisy right away. My Lexus dealer mentioned that other owners had similar experience with the Michelins. They also started to cup within a few thousand miles; even the alignment was done on my car with the new tires. After 15k miles on those tires I couldn't bear it and switched to the General GMAX tires after doing much research on options. These tires are great - they take the superb handling of a tire like the Michelin and provide a quiet and smooth ride. Furthermore they are much cheaper. I will definitely comeback to these tires when it's replacement time and will also look at other General tires for my other vehicles. I've already recommend this tire to friends who ended up buying them.

Nice tire

Bought these last Sept for my Mazda 6 Great tire, handled the Chicago winter with no problems. Great price point if comparing to the Continentals. Just as good. Seem to be wearing well with 10,000 miles on these now. I do wish they were a little quieter however

Excellent in the wet and great looks

I replaced the factory tires on my 2005 Crossfire Roadster with these about 20,000 miles ago and although I have mixed feelings about the tires, am doing the rears again.  The Good: They are GREAT in the rain—those big grooves shift a lot of water. They also stick well in the dry making the twisty roads loads of fun. They look good from all angles. They are affordable. The Bad. They are LOUD. You won't be sneaking up on anyone at highway speed because they sing like a set of mudders on a 4x4. The other downside is not getting anywhere close to the 50,000 miles touted in the tread life warranty.

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.

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.

I definitely will buy this tire again.

The tire is performing beyond my expectations. The ride and handling  of my 2015 Fiat Abarth has improved significantly over the Continental tires I replaced .  I am going to use the G-Max AS 05 tire on my new project car, a 2007 Mini Cooper S convertible, replacing the Michelin run flats.

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.
