I ran the gmax for a season on my genesis coupe, held up great real good feel, and still got 35000 miles out of them.
Just bought these as I was in the market. I like them. A little more firm of a ride but not terrible. Price was right and I am KUMHO fan and that is who makes these for Discount. In summary if money is an object, good value and I would recommend.
Kumho is a well built tire from Korea.
I currently have General G-Max AS-07 fitted on my Challenger. They are so far proving a good tire and handle the RWD and the car's weight well.
the Kumho TA51 (assuming TA51a as it is the current production) is a well reviewed and tested very low rolling resistance tire, thanks to a silica-enhanced tread compound. Most reviewers and owners over time generally note a small INCREASE in fuel economy of 1-3 MPG.
Ran the General G-Max As-07 and they were a great tire but still had some slippage in rain. Went with the Michelin CrossClimate 2 to replace them and have never looked back. Better tire all around.
I can vouch for the Generals, their dry and wet traction is leagues better than the POS OEM Falkens, they're just as quiet, and treadwear is excellent. I ran 25k miles aggressively, and treadwear was minimal when I traded in my '18. I'm getting a new set of Generals tomorrow, when I take my winters off for the season.
I had two sets of the Kumho Crugen HT51 SL. I liked both times and they lasted about 40,000 miles each. Seemed low but they're snow rated so I know those don't get as many miles because the rubber is softer. They handled great in snow/sleet/ice and enabled my front wheel drive van to go through lots of winter weather driving.
This last set (third owned) pissed me off though and barely made it 18,000 miles even with proper inflation and alignment.
I just got 4 General AltiMax RT45 installed on my 2008 Pontiac vibe. All date codes are 3523, so they are pretty fresh. Only put about 300 miles on them so far. I like them, car handles rain, had slight snow nothing crazy, and dry, drives very nice, not loud, but my issue is a *vibration* I never had before.
Stay away from Kumho tires, I’m just a Dad with a Sienna for the family, but I had a Honda Fit I drove 4 miles to the office for work. Got a pair of Kumho 80k rated, thought would be the last I’d have to buy. Worn out at barely 21k on them, on a Fit that don’t weigh much more than a lawnmower.
