I had the PS4S for 3 summers and just got the G-Max RS this summer. Grip wise they seem to be a little better than the top tier all-seasons, but behind the top tier summers, which I expected. They still feel competent on my Stage 2 car.
I hated my Dunlops and love my Generals.
They are honestly not a bad tire from my limited experience and research. My best friend has them right now on his 2015 and says they have been surprisingly great.
General Artic Altimax are great tires.
I recently looked at General Tires; top rated brand, great prices, but also good performance.
They’ve been through unplowed snowy canyons and never missed a beat, I was worried mud tires would be horrible in the winter but they were great.
I like my general G-Max's. All season is a stretch and they are a bit loud, but the grip is good and the sidewall is supportive.
They performed admirably, especially for the price. To my ears they were quieter than the factory Dunlops, and they definitely lasted longer. I replaced them after around 45,000 miles (~72,000 km since I see you are a northern neighbor) because of a sidewall bubble, but that was courtesy of a massive pothole rather than any sort of defect. There was still tread life remaining.
I'm running 225/60R16 General Altimax Arctic on aftermarket alloy wheels. 15's are definitely too small, my 16's barely clear the caliper
I'd steer clear of the Cooper Discoverer. I had a set that did not seem to last as long compared to the Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs.
