I have General G-Max RS on my CC: 255/40-18 on a new set of wheels. It launches much harder than it did with the stock Continental all-season tires.
Pros: launches much harder

I really want to avoid General Altimax tires because I have them on my Impala and they flat spot with just minimal sitting !! Man I hate that, Have to drive a few miles before it stops , just a pain in the ass... I want to avoid ANY tire that does this !
Cons: flat spot after sitting
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Impala
I've also used General Altimax Arctic with studs, they were really good all-round winter tires but they were annoyingly loud on the highway and they were more comfortable on snow and ice than dry pavement.
Pros: good all-round winter tires
Cons: annoyingly loud
I replaced them with General Altimax, dealer reccomended them. I have about 10k on them and like them. Took them on some mild-moderate off-roading out in the Mojave the other day and they did amazingly well for road tires.
Pros: amazingly well for road tires
Mileage: 10000 km
I have about 5000 miles on General AS-05's, 235/45/18 mounted on Prismas. Love these tires.
Pros: Love these tires
Mileage: 8046 km
I've had General (altimax, loved those)
Pros: loved those
I loved my DWS06s... they were loud though. I have General GMAX AS-05s on the Optima. They are quiet with the stock suspension, but not as grippy and wonderful as the DWS06s
Pros: quiet with stock suspension
Cons: less grippy
Vehicle:
Kia Optima
Last week I replaced OE Conti Pro Contact which still had decent thread left but were uncomfortably noisy with General Altimax RT43 and boy what a difference in ride quality, handling and incredibly quiet.
Pros: ride quality, incredibly quiet
Cons: uncomfortably noisy
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 34000 km
I’ve found the General G-Max AS-03 to be an awesome tire, on my 2nd set since the OEM Dunlop’s but the new AS-05 will be the replacement.
Pros: awesome tire
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
The General Gmax AS-05's perform extremely well. The Michelin's are still top dog don't get me wrong, they have better braking, lateral grip, as well as wet grip, but if you want 95% of the the AS 3+'s and save (usually) a couple hundred dollars on a new set of tires the AS-05's are my pick.
Pros: performs extremely well
Cons: Michelin's have better grip
