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.

I bought these three months ago for my Subaru BRZ and in that time I have put several thousand miles on them.  I couldn't be happier, these tires are quiet and maintain their grip in wet and dry conditions.  I also have these tires on my Mazda and before that I used their AS-03s on a previous vehicle.

This is my second set of General G-Max  AS 05 tires. These are installed on my 2020 Mazda 3 awd sedan. The performance of these tires in all conditions is first rate. Superior wet traction. Great braking performance. A big improvement over the original equipment tires.

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.

This is our second set of General Tires, other set are the rt43. So far we have experienced great tread wear and handling. Both sets of tires are quiet and seem to be efficient with regards to MPG. If they meet their life expectancy I will be buying them again. I would recommend either set depending on proper fitment.

I bought these tires to replace OEM run flats on my BMW 328i Sport Wagon.  These tires are quieter, incredibly better riding (it rides like a different car and everyone, especially my wife who rode in the car with the OEMs notices) and offer identical if not better handling.  Yes, these are not run flats but that's what a gold AAA card and Slime and compressors are for!  I bought these tires for an excellent price and would/will buy them again with no reservation.

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.

Coming from the Parent company Continentals DWS line which I am a huge fan of I decided to give the AS-05s a try due to some cost savings.  Well I will say right now you get what you pay for.  Impression at first was in a pretty bad rain storm. I have to admit that these tires are as grippy if not better then any DWS tire made in the last ten years.  Now the bad.  Slight flat spot/out of round sound coming from the two fronts when car is first driven in the morning.  Had to have the tires rebalanced three times and even went as far as to check the wheels to make sure no bends we're the culprit.  Needless to say the flat spot feel is a trait on DWSs as well for a few miles.   These tires are well for lack of words enhancing the flat spot experiance ten fold and then just stop and everything is wonderful and it's a smooth driving tire that's virtually silent.  So you park the car and then go back to drive somewhere else and what do you feel again the flat spot feel yet again.  I went as far as to check my tie rods just to make sure that was not the issue.  The balance is spot on and roadforced.  These tires are one of the worst tramlining tire In have ever driven on.  I honestly think the tread is the culprit but tramlining is very common anyway on alot of tires including the DWS line.  I will be swapping them out for another set of DWSs under the sastisfaction warranty.  But as I was saying the tire is great and will stack up to a DWS hands down.  However the quality of a DWS it is not.  The tread wear is also a 500 so it's a bit stickier then a DWS.  For me I learned my lesson and will just stick to Contis.

These tires were such an amazing upgrade from Hankooks that came standard on my Hyundai Tucson. They are quiet, have great traction (especially during Michigan Winters), and great tread life so far. The only reason they are not getting a 5* from me is - my fuel efficiency lost about 2-3 MPG when I switched to these General G-max as-05. Definitely a great tire!

I put these on a 2013 Dodge Charger Daytona so it's a little heavier than most cars. The treadwear is good so far and hasn't worn much at all. Traction on very wet roads are a solid 8. Snow, I'd give it a 6 at best but you will slide. On dry roads id give them a solid 9. As far as being quiet and smooth they're a solid 9. Overall I'd rate these tires 8/10. Not the best in winter but they more than make up in other areas.
