I cant speak for the tire in the snow, however wet and dry performance are truly superb. I have about 12k or so on the tire and it has even wear on all 4 tires. Still grips as it did when was newer. get this tire if you are looking for year around performance rain, or shine!!!!!

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!!

I bought a 2009 Mazda 3 which had horrible tires on it, the G-MAX AS-05 tires transformed the car. Living in Seattle, wet traction is a priority and these tires are great in the rain.  The AS-05 also offer sharp steering response, wet or dry, a quiet and comfortable ride and don't cost a fortune.  All three of my vehicles now have General Tires on them.  General has become my preferred brand.

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!!

The tires handle well on this all wheel drive CTS. They seem to work well in rain and snow. Also, seem to be wearing quite well. I am pleased with these G-max tires. Below, I checked an 8 on ""recommending a Continental Tire to a friend"" because I have had several problems with the Continental tires that came on my 2013 Fiat 500 Sport from the factory. That may be a problem with that   particular size.

Coming from the Parent company Continentals DWS line which I am a huge fan of I decided to give the AS-05s a try due to some cost savings.  Well I will say right now you get what you pay for.  Impression at first was in a pretty bad rain storm. I have to admit that these tires are as grippy if not better then any DWS tire made in the last ten years.  Now the bad.  Slight flat spot/out of round sound coming from the two fronts when car is first driven in the morning.  Had to have the tires rebalanced three times and even went as far as to check the wheels to make sure no bends we're the culprit.  Needless to say the flat spot feel is a trait on DWSs as well for a few miles.   These tires are well for lack of words enhancing the flat spot experiance ten fold and then just stop and everything is wonderful and it's a smooth driving tire that's virtually silent.  So you park the car and then go back to drive somewhere else and what do you feel again the flat spot feel yet again.  I went as far as to check my tie rods just to make sure that was not the issue.  The balance is spot on and roadforced.  These tires are one of the worst tramlining tire In have ever driven on.  I honestly think the tread is the culprit but tramlining is very common anyway on alot of tires including the DWS line.  I will be swapping them out for another set of DWSs under the sastisfaction warranty.  But as I was saying the tire is great and will stack up to a DWS hands down.  However the quality of a DWS it is not.  The tread wear is also a 500 so it's a bit stickier then a DWS.  For me I learned my lesson and will just stick to Contis.

I bought these for my summer cruising car and absolutely love them. I am a mechanic and put the tires on myself and they balanced so nice. I only have put about 2000 miles on them but with nice weather coming that should go up! My favorite part of the tire is the simple sidewall design. Nothing distracting or obnoxious at all. Simple smooth design. Tread  pattern is nice looking but more importantly offers a smooth safe and quiet ride. They did excellent on wet roads! I would definitely recommend this tire to anyone with a sportier car.

Love these tires. I drive a 2014 Scion tC and I went wider with 245/45R18 and it rides smoother, quieter and it handles so much better. You get a lot of grip which allows you to take turns and corners at higher speeds, and it's wet handling is superb. I'll be sticking with these when I need new tires.

First off, I'm not being paid to write this review. That being said, this is a great tire. I bought 4 of these in Sept. of 2018. I did a lot of research before I did. I wanted a high performance or ultra high performance tire that was also an all season tire since I was going to be making a 300 mile trip about every 6 weeks to visit my granddaughter and periodic trips to the Dr who was also about 300 miles (round trip) away. I wanted a tire that would provide great traction and a comfortable ride with minimum road noise. If I had searched for 5 years I would not have found a better tire but the added bonus here is it's ability to provide great traction in slippery conditions of snow and ice. Northeast MO had a more severe than usual winter this year with a lot of snow and ice. I don't remember this tire losing traction one time. I felt completely safe and in total control through everything this winter threw at me. It is worth putting on your vehicle for that reason alone. This will be my go to tire for everything from now on, it is that good!

Nearly 10,000 miles and still rides better than my original honda civic si tires. Not very noisy but not quiet either. Didn't notice during the cold months when beginning my travel any tire cold flat spots(smooth riding). Again overall a very good tire and handles well during the rainy days.
