I'm on the second summer for the General Gmax RS that got installed on our 2014 Mustang and honestly for the price i couldn't be happier. They are quiet, grippy and great in the rain.
Pros: quiet, grippy, great in rain
Vehicle:
Ford Mustang
I've put well over 50k miles on mine. Currently I'm right around 5/32nds maybe closer to 4. They did great in snow and rain up until this past winter and spring. Outside of thinking I had a bad wheel bearing, I'm thinking I'm starting to hear some more road noise. It's been relatively a great tire. They've worn evenly and didn't seem to effect any fuel economy.
Pros: great in snow and rain, worn evenly
Cons: road noise increasing
Mileage: 80467 km
It’s not a good brand but it isn’t the worst.
But with the exception of the general grabbers. Those are some good off road tires for trucks
Pros: good off road tires
Cons: not a good brand
I use General RT43's on all my cars. Good budget all season that is also (relatively) good in snow. Not pilot sports, but dont drive like an idiot and they won't do anything funny to you. Dealt with everything from a foot of snow to hydroplaning conditions, never had them do anything scary to me.
Wear is good, grip is good, handles a variety of weather conditions well enough, and never had a manufacturing defect on the 16 tires ive owned. IMO from the research ive done and my experience, they are the bang for the buck of any tire out there.
Pros: good grip, good wear
Yes, they are great tires. I currently run General Grabber ATXs on my truck and have ran General G-MAX performance tires on a previous car without issues.
Pros: great tires, no issues
I wouldn’t have any hesitations buying General Tires. They are made and distributed by Continental tire, which is generally a reputable brand. Have had experience with both their all season and winter tires in the past and never ran into any issues with them. I used the RT43, G-Max and Altimax Arctic with no problems. There are certainly much worse tires out there, these ones are a good buy.
Pros: good buy, no issues
I've been running the General Altimax tires. Great bang for the buck.
Pros: great bang for buck
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Finally settled on tire size, 275/55R20 General Grabber ATXs. I absolutely love these tires.
Pros: love these tires
I had a problem where the Generals were 20 dollars a tire more than the Firehawks. I probably gave up some wet traction for higher overall performance in the dry, but it's good to see that the G-Max isn't a bad option, either.
Pros: higher overall performance
Cons: gave up wet traction
