Quiet, decent grip, good for street driving

2017 BRZ, occasional autocross.  This tire does not hold up well in autocross.  Not enough grip for racing, BUT... This is an excellent tire for the road!  Quiet, grippy on the road for normal driving.  I am a spirited driver and street driving it completely satisfied me.  Way more than enough grip than you need, but just not for autocross, as expected.    This tire squeal when they approach their limit, which is good warning sign, especially for drivers who is not familiar with the limited state of their car.

Great for the Price

I bought these tires a few months back because of the good price, good reviews and the fact that they had a rebate available at the time.  I didn't have much money so these were the best choice for me.  However, when compared to others from the same category, these tires have a much softer and more complaint ride but still retain a decent amount of stick in the corners.  They also perform admirably in the wet compared to their competition.  If I had to classify these tires, I would say they belong in the high performance category of tires and not in the UHP category.  Really good for a sports sedan at best but not recommended for sports car level feedback and control.  If your looking for a decent tire that performs well in the wet with good grip and a comfortable ride, this tire is fantastic.

Great Tire

I bought a set of these tires for my 2014 VW Jetta TDI a few months ago. I just got them rotated for the first time around 5,000 miles and still loving them. They provide a very smooth ride. There is also very little road noise from these tires. My favorite thing about these tires is their sporty look as compared to other tire options in this size.   These are my second set of General tires. I also put a set on my Toyota 4runner, and the tires were great for that vehicle too. These tires are very high quality for the affordable price you pay.

Sporty tire good all around snow OK

I bought these tires September 2018 and now it's April 2019.  I have them on my 2008 Subaru Impreza Sport.  They are sporty, handle well, tight corners, great grip on dry and wet.  In Norther Utah snow they don't perform as well as a snow tire of course but do pretty well.  I'm sure the AWD helps.  I've gone skiing multiple times in the snow and have only slid once although I'm quite experienced in snow driving.  Price was great.  Tread wear descent.  Noise seems fine.  Really fun tire to drive on and performs well in all conditions.

FRENCH-MADE WITHOUT THE EXOTIC FRENCH PRICE

THIS IS MY 3RD SET OF REPLACEMENT TIRES FOR MY FIAT ABARTH, AND THESE COULD BE THE BEST YET. QUIET, EXCELLENT HANDLING AND WEAR CHARACTERISTICS, EVEN DECENT ON THE MINIMAL AMOUNT OF SNOW WHERE I LIVE [MUCH BETTER THAN THE LAST SET OF EURO-BRAND TIRES I HAD].  AND WHEN I GOT THEM AND CHECKED THE SIDEWALL AND SAW THEY WERE MADE IN FRANCE, NOT CHINA, I THOUHT  ''C'EST MAGNIFIQUE'.  GREAT BUY.  [note to Abarth owners; you CAN easily run 205/45-16's like these tires in place of OEM 195/45-16's]

Finally found a tire doesn't wear out prematurely

My car (Lexus IS 350 F Sport - AWD) is known for going through tires very quickly (typically 15,000 - 18,000 miles). After trying tires by Bridgestone (OEM), Cooper and Continetal, I finally tried the General Tire G-Max AS 05's. I have just purchased my second set of the G-Max tires and I have been very happy with them in terms of handling, lack of road noise, durability, etc. The fact that they are competitively priced means I will likely stick with these tires for as long as I own this car.

Smooth ride, good grip, decent thread wear...

I bough s set of these tires in April - 2019 for my son's 2016 VW Jetta. So far we have about 4k miles on them, and I am pleased with their performance. They ride very smooth, good grip, thread wear is decent, overall for the price I would say pretty good buy. They were little noisy at first at certain speed range (midsize around 50 mph or so), but now it seems much quieter. These are made in the US, they were road force balanced and numbers very pretty low (6 - 14 lbs), which is a good thing, no complaints at all. I would recommend these!

A good all season tire.

I bought these last year for my wife and I liked them so much that I even bought a set for my car, they inspire confidence in wet and dry handling they are well balanced and do everything we need them to.

Life Saver!

Replaced my stock Pirelli summer tires on the 15 Mustang GT and I can't believe the improvement. Its literally a night and day performance upgrade. I finally feel confident pushing the car a bit. Was forced to make a full speed tactical lane change and pulled off the move of a lifetime to avoid a serious highway wreck. Thank you General- if I was still wearing the Pirellis it would have been terrible.

works as advertised

have a new used 08 civic ex which handles well. wanted more 'stick' which these tires provide. there is actually more 'stick' than the car can use. on long corners the civic will start to slow as the tires hook up. only about 6,000 miles on them so far. wear looks average. gas mileage is down @ 1 mpg, perhaps due to more aggressive driving!? drove pretty well in the light snow we had this winter. rain handling is good.
