General Gmax RS is a great affordable tire, I use them on my car for everyday use and have auto crossed them a few times with good results.
The tire pressure light came on but upon Reset so far so good. The slightly larger size gives the car a nicer and quieter ride. Should also last longer due to greater load carrying capacity. The Goodyears were good for 28K miles. If it were summer I probably let them go till 30K.
I'm considering getting something like 50,000 mile General G-Max AS 05s instead of something like the long lasting and highly rated Michelin CrossClimate2
Ended up with General ALTIMAX 365 AW. Wife wanted a solid ice/snow tire. Best rated tire for snow/ice . Fairly good for Ride quality and noise. Dry/wet driving is not rated as good as other two tires on this list.
I'd recommend Generals. On the recommended by Consumer Reports list for winters and well placed in other tire testing, you can't go wrong with them. Less expensive than Michelin, Bridgestone, etc.
Been using this brand for over a decade.
Reasonably priced. Long lasting, good grip, a little louder than the comparable Michelin tire
I have been buying General Altimax RT43 tires based on a recommendation a few years ago from Consumers Reports. It's a good balance between performance and cost.
I went altimax arctic 12 205/55/16 after reading up.
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.
I switched my winter tires for summers back on the Miata and noticed something odd. There are parts of the tread in the center on every tire that just seemed to have fallen off at some point. I bought the tires in 9/2015 and they had a 1012 build date. I was quite upset with Tire Rack that they would send me 3.5 year old tires advertised as new but they said there was nothing they could do. I ran them winter of 2015/2016 and again this current 2016/2017 winter. Last year they didn't have this separation and I have no idea what happened. I don't think it's something small that I ran over since it happened to all 4 tires. They're 175/65/14 General Altimax Arctics by the way.
