Great all around tire

I bought a set for my MK4 Jetta and these tires really perform well in all conditions. They had plenty of traction in a couple inches of snow and never left me stranded. Wet traction is also fantastic. They are quiet and plenty comfortable. Highly recommended.

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.

Great Tires!

Bought them with all the positive reviews. Also, my local tire store highly recommended them as well. I have an AWD Subaru Crosstrek these tires are mounted on and live in FL. I have driven on the highway in crazy blinding down pours and the tires maintained a stable feeling stuck to the road amazingly. Two thumbs up to General for these awesome tires. Will purchase again for sure!!

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 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 Tires

I got a set for my 2018 Mustang GT. 275x40x19 for the rear and 255x40x19 on the front. I been driving on them for about 6 months and what a difference from the stock tires. Great ride and handling!  I'm impressed with the upgrade and totally satisfied. This was my first set of General tires and there great!

Great tire

I have about 7k miles on these on a 16 wrx.  Handle the tight twisties great, stable and predictable in mid- heavy rains.  Quiet and smooth.  Great sidewall stiffness without being harsh. Road noise isn't an issue.  Keep it up and will definitely buy again.

Smooth Ride, Excellent in Rain, Superior Handling

I purchased the G-Max AS-05 tires about a week ago and have already logged over 500 miles with them on my 2007 Lexus ES350. I drive 30K interstate miles a year. I have almost 300K miles on my car and have always used the more expensive Michelin tires...and a few other ""trial"" brands which could never match Michelin performance. Well, as soon as I hit the road with the G-Max tires I knew I had a winner. The super smooth ride and tight steering response is 5 stars so far. Traction and overall vehicle control on wet, stormy roads has been excellent. Since I keep my car in top shape, including wheel alignments and rotate/balance every 5000 miles, I have a very good idea within the first 5000 miles on how tires will perform and last. It is my opinion that General's G-Max AS-05 has become Michelin's new worst nightmare. If these tires continue to perform well and last beyond 40K miles, then goodbye Michelin!!

Good Tire

General always has excellent tires reguardlesa of price. For an all season can not beat these. I did prefer the older directional model as was better in the rain my traction control never ever came on with them. These new ones are very good much quieter with ever so slightly less grip. Excellent tire all around rain snow dry

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.
