I like them better than the Pilot Sport

Bought a 2008 Miata that had Michelin Pilot Sport summer tires. I waited for summer, but even when the tires warmed up they noisy. Replaced with General AS-05. MUCH quieter and handle just as good as the Pilot's for our driving. I'm not saying it's better than the Pilot for all drivers, but it is a good, quiet tire. PS The main reason I tried General is my satisfaction with the Altimax 43 on our SUV.

Loudest Performance Tire on the Road

These tires handle great in wet and dry weather.  The cornering is outstanding.  But the noise is unbearable and outweighs all the positives.  They were relatively quiet for the first couple thousand miles, but now I'm just going to have to replace them with barely any wear.

Excellent All Season tires.

These tires are excellent tires giving decent traction and road handling with low road noise.  This is the second set that I purchased.  I got 80K on the first set of tires driving on my 2016 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid Ltd. You can not go wrong with these tires.  I highly recommend them.

Great product at a lower price than the other guys

I bought these tires just about a year ago and have been able to drive with them on my 5.7 challenger six speed in the rain, snow, and nice hot dry weather in Illinois. I will say they work much better and much quieter than the Firestone's I had on before hand. The snow grip isn't super great but for a all season they did the job a lot better than the Firestone's. The price is really what had me interested and I read some reviews on the as-03 and read that these new tires fixed previous issues so I gave it a try and was glad I did. Put about 15000 miles on them and they are doing great still good tread left still gets great grip when throwing it in the corners I have a lot more confidence lol

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 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.

VERY PLEASED

I've had the tires on a Nissan Altima now through a winter and summer - these tires are great!!  Very good traction in snow, rain and dry roads.  And even decent on ice if you drive smart.  Low road noise.  I hope they keep making these tires the same way into the future.  I will buy them for my other vehicles when needed.

one of the best all season tires

I cant speak for the tire in the snow, however wet and dry performance are truly superb. I have about 12k or so on the tire and it has even wear on all 4 tires. Still grips as it did when was newer. get this tire if you are looking for year around performance rain, or shine!!!!!

Beat Tires I for the Cost and Traction!

I have had two sets of GTs and they are great for millage life span and wet weather as well as light snow. I had one set for 5yrs and put the same set on 4 different cars before I had to replace them. Also have ARCTIC snow tires and they are fantastic in the winter and deep snow.

Excellent 3-Season Tire

Excellent tire.  I say ""3-Season"" because I run dedicated winter tires in the winter months and not the AS-05, so I do not know how they would fare as a winter tire.   I have them on a Mazda6 and I am a very spirited driver.  Excellent grip in both wet & dry, with great feedback.  Very quiet.  Very happy.  Would buy again.
