Short life, handle well, good grip

On my second set of these, wear issues on heavy Flex Limited ecoboost AWD. Never get near stated treadwear, car has under 100k miles and worn out latest set (don't remember what O.E. tire was or how long they lasted but need new tires at 97k. Noisey and worn on inner aspect.

Good value, but a little noisy.

These replaced a set of pirelli p zero all season plus tires on an Infiniti G37. Overall I'm happy with them. My only real criticism is that they are louder over all types of pavement. I think these tires are a good value if tread noise isn't a priority

Great all around tire

I love these tires. They stick to the road very well. They perform great in the rain even when it's a large downpour. My only issue, (which maybe bc of the cars weight 3,543lbs curb weight) is they they will feel like they are flat spotting after 2/3days of sitting. Once the tire warms up it's fine and smooth again.

Great handling tires

These tires not only look great on my Cadillac xts but they sure do handle  great . You can't get the best of everything ,  I'm sure i could find a tire that road smoother (these are not bad) but for a 20 inch low pro tire i would definitely  recommend  them .

Great overall performance value

Purchased these 10 months ago for a Dodge Charger Pursuit. 245/55R18 size, police 18" wheels. This car has been modified as a do it all performance car. It's supercharged, and custom tuned. It's used for drag racing, commuting, a comfortable trip car, and open road racing. It's done two Silver State events with no issues at speeds up to 140 MPH sustained. 120 MPH average for 90 miles at a time. These have been great overall tires, and we now have 9000 miles on them to rate them. These are a W rated tire (168mph) and will pass tech into the next division. Very stable at speed doing the closed course stuff. I trust these with me and my wife (navigator).

Very happy with these

Bought these tires and immediately went on a 2,000 mile road trip. Super happy with the noise, traction, and comfort of them. Spirited driving in my Fiesta ST and the tires always felt in control. Even performed fairly well in light snow (Up to 2"" on road). Would purchase them again.

Love them more than anyone should love a tire.

Replaced a set of Toyos that were awful in the rain and really didn't do it for me on corners.  VERY happy with these.  I can drive in the rain now without fear of slipping out.  I also feel that they corner 100% better than the Toyos did.  I feel more firmly connected to the ground, they tend to be a lot quieter as far as lack or squeaking at every turn.  Not sure I'd buy anything else going forward.

Great tire for the money

I live at 9000 ft in the Rockies. Mix between in town 15 miles round trip to 160 freeway miles round trip. Tires are quiet, seem to be getting good mileage and generally (no pun intended) are responsive. I have noticed in wet areas on the freeway tires are a little grabby and hydro plane a bit. Overall, for the price very satisfied.

They are still new; they work well

These tires are still brand new with less than 5k miles on them, but since General tire is insisting I write a review on them; here it goes.  These G-Max AS-05 replaced Mich Pilot Sport AS-3s that were on the car for about 4 yrs/40k miles and were down to 3/32. The AS-3s did well and I had no complaints other than the tire got louder as the tread wore down (most tires do this so nothing out of the ordinary).  Price was a primary factor in choosing the General G-Max AS-05 over similar tires from the top brand in this category and the General's were at least 10%+ less expensive than then next brand tire. [brands considered: Nokian, Michelin, Bridgestone/Firestone]  As far as the (still new) G-Max AS-05 goes, so far, so good.  The new tire is relatively quiet on the SW OH roads (highway and back roads) I drive.  The 5 or less chances I've driven in the rain were fine with no drama.  The tires seem to take the occasional fast entrance/exit ramp without complaint and the outer shoulder tread blocks offer nice/decent grip.  The car will not see auto-cross or other track time so I cannot comment on their ability to be ""quick"".  Winter is coming and this will be the first time they will potentially see the white stuff.  As with any (new) AS tire, I think they will do fine as long as I don't over drive the tires' abilities.  Again, so far so good.  When the time comes for the next set of tires, I will see if the G-Max AS-05 or successor is available and definitely consider it.  Performance per dollar spent is a good ratio with this tire.

I really like this tire for my 2019 Model 3!

This is a great tire to replace your Micheline's.  I went to 255/35/18 and I can really feel better grip and handling.  I also get better rim protection because the tire is now a little wider than than the rim. I took one star of because they are definitely louder than the original Micheline tires that came with it.  The car is already kinda loud when going 75 so I don't really mind.
