GENERAL TIRE › Tires

Grip:

I just ordered a set of General Tire G-MAX AS-05 for my Bolt. With 28,000 miles of wear on the factory tires, I can feel it starting to hydroplane in heavy rain. I'm swapping before something worse than "starting to hydroplane" happens. And I'm looking forward to it being a *lot more fun* to drive.

Pros: more fun to drive

Cons: starting to hydroplane

Vehicle: Chevrolet Bolt

Mileage: 45061 km

Noise:

I run these on my daily but my daily commute is 8-9 miles total so I just deal with the tire noise. But it is very noticeable. They are rated at 200TW so don't expect the same mileage as a PS4S. 7 to 10K is the average a lot of people report seeing out of the RS-RR

For the money nothing will grip as hard. That being said they need some heat in them to get the most out of them. I run them hard on track and they put a smile on my face. I'm not breaking track records so, again, for the money, great value.

Pros: great value, hard grip

Cons: very noticeable tire noise

Vehicle: Subaru

Tiguan suspension lift, 17 x 8 et35 TSW Nurburgring wheels with 225/55r17 Nokian Hakkapeliitta R3 snow tires. Car has been an absolute beast in the snow, even driving through 6 to 8 inches on the road. Car handles bumps, dips, ice and snow with ease.

Pros: beast in the snow

Cons: slight rubbing

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

DHR II 2.4WT exists in double down and EXO casing at least in 27.5 -- I own both.

Grip:

As others have said - great tire for the money. I've had mine for almost a year now of daily driving and approximately 80\~ autocross runs. They behave like other 200tw tires but lack the ultimate grip the better ones have.

Pros: great tire for money

Cons: lacks ultimate grip

Noise:

I run them on my Mk6 Golf R in STH. I would not recommend daily driving on them as they are very loud. They do have excellent dry grip but not the best as others are noting in this thread. These are a great starter tire if you aren't looking to get the best edge in equipment, or a good change of pace if you want to challenge yourself to be a better driver.

Pros: excellent dry grip

Cons: very loud

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

I have them, run them on my ES miata, couldn't be happier with their performance on the course. I've heard the re71r is a bit more predictable with stepping out and I would believe that. Also, for daily driving, these things hum like there is a cessna flying low behind you. I have won ES Class in one of the events I ran them in against 6 or 7 others.

Pros: happy with performance

Cons: very noisy

Vehicle: Mazda

Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires are generally highly regarded and will be pretty damn grippy, especially if you're used to cheap tires

Pros: highly regarded, pretty grippy

Noise:

There were long sections of I-90 especially through Washington that were loud as f***. I don’t know if it’s damage due to chains or what, but I had to endure hours of this nonsense. Maybe it was my tires? They are Michelin Pilot Super Sports in 235/40R18 inflated up to 39 psi for the extra load. They’re silent on most other roads though.

Pros: silent on most roads

Cons: loud on some roads

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

Ride comfort:

Similar story: a lovely pothole seemingly gave me a flat (felt really jarring) on one of my Pirelli Sottozero 3s. Was flat within 10 minutes...Turns out the pothole actually cracked the rim (which caused the flat) and then the short time I drove on it mostly flat, had ruined the sidewall on the tire as well.

Cons: cracked rim, ruined sidewall

Vehicle: Porsche Cayman
