Great tire

I put these on a 4 cyl z3 and there is basically no chance of spinning the tires even in the rain. Very grippy. Pretty quiet. Steering feels much better then the kuhmos they replaced. The only negative i would say is that they get flat spots from sitting and it takes 10 or so miles for it to smooth out. Since its just a fun car it seems to be the case most of the time i get it out.

quick and tight

these tires sticks and are therefore are very good in cornering in wet or dry surfaces, we don't have snow so i can't comment on that and surprisingly comfortable.  thread life seems ok too but can't firmly say that since i drove less since covid started.  overall i feel safe and like a rockstar with these tires, go get them.

Excellent Tire

I bought these tires for my 2014 Chevy Malibu and am Very Satisfied with their Performance on dry & wet roads...I feel confident driving with these tires in the rain and also during fast pace with cornering !!!  I definitely recomment the GMax AS5 and would buy them again !!!

Ready Again.....

I am now a three-time owner of General tires...all placed on my 2008 Chevrolet Impala currently with 172K. For reasons unknown, General has had a dark cloud over their name. I work in the auto repair business and that feeling seemed to be synonymous with the General name. Although I was able to stretch the OEM Goodyear's to close to 60K, I knew they would not be the replacement tire of choice after my experiences past the 20K mark. When looking for the Goodyear replacements, I read some customer reviews about the General line with some surprisingly positive results. With cost in mind and the high customer reviews, I want ""against the grain"" and bought my first set of Generals. I wore them to another 125K and bought another set of the same just as they were being phased-out. Well, I wore them out too and knowing my current tires were discontinued, I turn to the General catalog again and found the GMax A-05s.... Well, I wore these A-05s down to about 80% and I am checking here in the General catalog to see is these are still being made because I have a flat tire. One of my tires has a piece of metal in it that is too large to repair. The tires have been rotated a few times so I am unsure if this is a newly developed puncture or the piece of implanted metal that has finally desired to made itself known. What ever it may be a General replacement tire will be used and a few more to compete my new set. I plan to surpass the 200K mark and I feel confident my Generals will take me there.

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 .

Just as quiet as reading a book in the library.

I purchased these tires a several months ago to replace my firehawks on my 2015 Dodge Charger. These are much better tires they are very quiet and smooth to be performance tires. I guess it depends on the type of car you driver but if you have a Charger these are great replacements.

Transformative Tires!

I went from Good Year Eagle Sports to the General G-MAX tires on my 2013 Mini Cooper S.  Absolutely transformed how the car handles and rides. These are fantastic tires, quiet, sticky, great in hard rains. I will be looking at a set for my wife's car when she is due for new tires. I can not get over how affordable these tires were, and just how fantastic they are.

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.

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.

Generally, great job!

This is the second set of G-Max AS-05s and happier than ever with the grip, wear and ride of this set. With the addition of adjustable upper control arms to mellow out the factory negative 5° camber on the rear end of the Focus these babies are wearing smoothly and evenly well into the 30k mark, unlike the first set that due to the aggressive camber were feathered and near replacing. So, good job General and Paul at Kanrock for tuning in the Focus's suspension!
