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 choice

i bought a used 2015 Hyundai Veloster with 29k miles and it had Kumho Solus tires. Their was good tread left on the tires but the ride was like if the tires were filled with cement. I upgraded to the G-Max 215/40ZR18's and the difference was night and day. The ride is much smoother and quieter and handling is great too. They performed well in the rain and also in some snow this past winter. You won't go wrong with a set of these tires. I've only put on 3k miles and still loving them.

Hard ride, wouldn't purchase it again!

I had run flats on my car before I got G- Max installed. On the highway they were a little bit better but my other tires were worn and old. Also driving on the regular streets there was no difference and Tire Rack they told me this tire has a smooth ride. Very disappointed with this purchase because the tire doesn't live up to its price which was good. I called Tire Rack and tried to exchange or upgrade but they told me the 45 day warranty is passed due.

Great tire for the price

I purchased a set of these almost a year ago now and have been satisfied with the quality and performance. They do ok driving to the ski hill during the winter, although Subarus do much better w a studded tire in winter. They're great in the rain and dry conditions. I usually buy a much more aggressive tire for my Subaru but in an attempt to save some money, these made the cut. I spent 2 months shopping for just the right deal on just the right tires.

Great grip, and smooth ride at a reasonable price

I bought these tires in August and have gone through a michigan winter with them . I know snow tires are better for winter then all seasons but here in mid michigan the snow and ice don't stick around long enough to warrant dedicated snow tires . I am happy to report the G Max's performed in the snow and ice better then expected . I tried these tires as replacements for the BF Goodrich Gforce comp 2-as tires had previously . I loved the grip of the comp 2's but wanted to find something with a little smoother ride . These G Max tires are far smoother and quieter then the Comp 2's  even though they only offer about 8.5/10ths of the grip of the Comp 2's . The tread is lasting longer on the G Max's then the Comp 2's  did . The price of the G Max's and the overall improved ride quality I feel offers a fair trade off for the slight loss of overall grip compared to the Comp 2's . Great all around performance tire for my daily driver.

First run was coast to coast... Awesome...

When I decided to drive from NY to LA in my 2002 5-Series I knew I needed new tires.  G-Max AS-05 we're my first choice. Wow! They were fantastic. Smooth, quiet,  comfortable,  high performance,  stylish... all wrapped up I  one package.   3000 miles in five days.. Thank you General!

Superb performance

Very happy with these tires. They perform solidly in the hot or cold, wet or dry. Traction is superb and my car corners like it's on rails. Most importantly I am confident in the ability of the tires to perform in all conditions. The only slight negative, which is to be expected due to softer rubber compounds, is the tread wear is more accelerated than other tires I've used.

Good overall value

Bought these to replace the OE tires on my wife's Audi A5.  Overall, they are a good value.  Better turn in and response than the OE tire.  On a similar note, the car is now very sensitive to steering input and is more difficult to track straight.  Car wanders a bit now.

Best Tire I've Ever Owned!!!

First off, I'm not being paid to write this review. That being said, this is a great tire. I bought 4 of these in Sept. of 2018. I did a lot of research before I did. I wanted a high performance or ultra high performance tire that was also an all season tire since I was going to be making a 300 mile trip about every 6 weeks to visit my granddaughter and periodic trips to the Dr who was also about 300 miles (round trip) away. I wanted a tire that would provide great traction and a comfortable ride with minimum road noise. If I had searched for 5 years I would not have found a better tire but the added bonus here is it's ability to provide great traction in slippery conditions of snow and ice. Northeast MO had a more severe than usual winter this year with a lot of snow and ice. I don't remember this tire losing traction one time. I felt completely safe and in total control through everything this winter threw at me. It is worth putting on your vehicle for that reason alone. This will be my go to tire for everything from now on, it is that good!

Great Alternative to High Dollar Brands, Surpasses OE Tires

I drive a LOT, averaging 30k miles a year. So when it came time for tires on my new Altima, I knew I didn't want to spend a grand on tires that wouldn't last a year. I have always been a big fan of Michelin, Continental and Pirelli for my mustangs, and being that General is part of the Continental family, I was more than willing to go by reputation alone. I work for a family owned chain tire & auto company with stores across the St Louis metro area and Kansas City, and after running these for the past 12k miles, I have been more than happy selling dozens of sets of these tires for people who also would prefer to not spend a ton of money, but still want a great performing tire.   In the clear weather, it grips well, and is willing to take on ramps and curves at speed without getting sketchy when nearing its limits. Come rain, you remain sure footed and have no problems. Even come heavy snow, no issues. This past winter was one of the harshest winters we have had in years, with large amounts of snow fall. Even on unplowed roads, with as many of 7 inches or more on the ground. I was left comfortable and was able to trust that I wouldn't be unable to make it to any destination. My Altima does not have the optional AWD system, and this tire is proof that with a quality tire it is not necessary in a car that isn't intended to be off road.  Another issue people tend to forget is that some tires will end up being loud, unbalanced after a short time, or have a harsh ride quality. And I can attest that they are very quiet, have a great ride, and even provides incredible mileage, surpassing the OE tire, without being a low rolling resistance tire that would leave you sacrificing grip and perfornance.. As usual things may change as the tire wears towards its end of life. And I will update as time goes by. But as of now, with over 12k on them, they show only minor wear that would be unnoticed by an untrained eye.
