I just did the same switch about 2 weeks ago now. I agree with wet performance, they are fantastic. My two biggest differences I've noticed are the Gmax have a tendency to feel a bit floaty on very specific pavement patterns at highway speed.
I got my RX-7 a set of General Altimax RT43. For the past few thousand miles, no complaints.
I had Duratracs on my Tacomas when I lived in the Denver area. They were reliable on and off road and handled well in all conditions. They were a little noisy when they wore down, but what 33's arent'?
I had pilot sports and switched to the gmax after having blow out after blow out no issue since making the switch. the general tires imo are far sturdier and have way better wet weather performance.
I have changed my tires from Michelin Pilot Sport 3's to General G Max AS-05.
I recently took my car on an aggressive mountain pass in 70 degree weather and here's my findings.
1)Driving at 80-90mph on straight highway cruising the General G Max create more wind noise than the Pilot Sports.
Way better than BFG KO2.
I have the 32 inch E rated version on my F150. They have been fantastic so far, 1.5 years in. I live in SW Montana, so we get snow and ice. They work great for an all terrain.
I've had the General Altima tires for a few years. They have done me well
In my 20 years driving experience... I seem to recall using goodyear only once. It was ok, nothing special about noise or grip level. But I remember getting a lot more punctures on the goodyears than any other brand I've used. But again, it could just be bad luck.
Lexus seems to have a really bad habit of putting bare minimum shit tires on their CPO vehicles. They put new $100/tire shit Goodyear LS2 tires on both my '13 and '15 GS...
