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.

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.

Winter Summer Trooper

Bought these based on specs and tire pattern.  2005 Acura TL had only been driven with Michelins until these were put on in August.  10k miles later and the verdict is in.  These are far superior to Michelins.  Held firm in snow and ice.  Can't find anything wrong with this tire.  Tread wear excellent.  Price excellent.  Tried to get previous version at a ridiculously low price.  It was closed out and oversold by retailer so I got these and they definately did not disappoint.

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.

G-MAX AS-05

Had these installed on my 06 Solstice, as recommended by tire rack. Have not driven to many miles so far, but happy with tires. Good traction, quiet, nice ride. I have had General tires on other vehicles and have never had any problems with any of them.

All around amazing tire on a BRZ

I bought these to replace the stock michelins on my 2014 BRZ and they're better in the rain than the michelins were in the summer. I drive my car like I stole it and these tires have never let me down I even took it up and down dirt roads and they hook up and grip just fine on loose gravel I have nothing bad to say about these tires they are excellent all around.

Well behaved tires, fun to backroad, priced well.

Have my tires four months, with approx. 6,000 miles of fun driving. These replaced my original tires (18,000 miles), and I wished I had changed sooner. The G-Max mades an already responsive 2012 Mustang convertible drive smoother, is quieter, provides excellent road feedback, and holds turns like a dream. These tires match my car's sporty suspension so well, Ford missed an opportunity by not using them as OEM tires.

Great buy for the price

I replaced stock Michelin pilot sport on my fiesta st with these because of the price. Have driven over 2000 miles and these are still keeping up with the Michelins of not better. Michelins would lose traction taking turns at higher speeds and these do not yet at least. Highly recommend them

Awesome Tires

I bought these tires almost 8 months ago and I don't regret it. I have about 16,000 miles on them with very little visible tread wear. They have very good traction rain, snow or shine. Very low road noise. Good sporty looking tire with great performance and for a great price. I will be buying these tires again when the time comes.

Amazing all around especially in snow!

I've had these tires for nearly 5,000 miles bought late fall. I drive very aggressively and cannot day enough about the grip they offer! We've had 2 6"" snowfalls now and these AS-05's walk right thru it. They are also much softer ride than my GoodYears I had previously!! I'd buy again in a heartbeat!
