Awesome Tire

This is an amazing tire. I previously had the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S3+ and they were so noisy right away. My Lexus dealer mentioned that other owners had similar experience with the Michelins. They also started to cup within a few thousand miles; even the alignment was done on my car with the new tires. After 15k miles on those tires I couldn't bear it and switched to the General GMAX tires after doing much research on options. These tires are great - they take the superb handling of a tire like the Michelin and provide a quiet and smooth ride. Furthermore they are much cheaper. I will definitely comeback to these tires when it's replacement time and will also look at other General tires for my other vehicles. I've already recommend this tire to friends who ended up buying them.

Will be buying again

This is a great tire.  I have these tires on my Lexus and am satisfied after I just went through a set of Continental S-04 Pole Positions in 14,000 miles.  These are a great all around tire and definitely stand up against Continental, Goodyear, and other mega names.  Well done General.

Fiat 500L tire replacement

I bought after much research. I really like how they wear and seem they will last a good while.  Only negative I noticed was that they tend to ""Hunt"" around on the freeway when I first purchased them, but not so much now. They are great tires and I'd buy them again.

Nice tire

Bought these last Sept for my Mazda 6 Great tire, handled the Chicago winter with no problems. Great price point if comparing to the Continentals. Just as good. Seem to be wearing well with 10,000 miles on these now. I do wish they were a little quieter however

Excellent in the wet and great looks

I replaced the factory tires on my 2005 Crossfire Roadster with these about 20,000 miles ago and although I have mixed feelings about the tires, am doing the rears again.  The Good: They are GREAT in the rain—those big grooves shift a lot of water. They also stick well in the dry making the twisty roads loads of fun. They look good from all angles. They are affordable. The Bad. They are LOUD. You won't be sneaking up on anyone at highway speed because they sing like a set of mudders on a 4x4. The other downside is not getting anywhere close to the 50,000 miles touted in the tread life warranty.

Performance-first criteria

I bought these tires for my 2004 M3 so performance was a priority, but I needed performance on a budget.  The tires have not disappointed on heavy cornering.  The other things I needed was a quiet ride that was not harsh.  All this considering the fronts are 225 40/19 and the rears are 255 35/19.  The final decision to chose these was that they are not directional so I could rotate them side to side.  All in all I am very pleased with my purchase.

Transformative Tires!

I went from Good Year Eagle Sports to the General G-MAX tires on my 2013 Mini Cooper S.  Absolutely transformed how the car handles and rides. These are fantastic tires, quiet, sticky, great in hard rains. I will be looking at a set for my wife's car when she is due for new tires. I can not get over how affordable these tires were, and just how fantastic they are.

Good reliable tires!

Bought these tires a few months ago and probably 7k miles. Make sure you keep on rotating the tires. My tires got choppy but rotating helped. Very good wet grip and dry handling. I push my car on the weekends in turns and the tires handle it great. Only complaint is the tread noise. On the highway they do get a little humm but nothing that's over bearing.

Great grip but.......

Tires grip in wet and dry very good.  Snow no go.  Only draw back is when tires are cold there must be flat spots that make the tires vibrate alot.  i still have a small vibration once they warm up,  had them re-balanced twice. Maybe the rims? they were purchased new with the tires, Tolerable but not perfect.Price was good  225x45R18
