700rwhp Mustang with these as a daily, the tires are great.. only reason why I gave it these ratings are because of my power level, they all would go up by 2 points if I had a stock mustang. Def worth the money.

This is my second set, first set was on a MB C300. These tires are in my opinion better than the Continentals and Pirelli tires that come on these cars from the factory. I have not driven in deep snow but coatings to a couple of inches is not a problem. Great tires.

The Generals are a huge, noticeable improvement over the OEMs. Much quieter and smoother over bumps and way more grip. Steering response is immediate - these feel lively at turn-in and change direction effortlessly. Not twitchy, but eager. Cornering stability is solid, they hold a line well, yet will react to steering inputs - again not twitchy, but steering feels lighter mid-line/curve. Grip is excellent - especially in the wet, and accelerates well in wet and dry. Braking grip is very strong and evenly maintained in turns. Great deal and they perform as well or better (especially in the wet) than tires costing $50/each more.

So far so good. I've already experienced all types of weather with these tires. Excellent in the rain, better than average in the snow, for a performance tire. Very good in dry conditions. Tires are quiet so far, even with some aggressive maneuvers. Little noise at high speed. Sidewall is a little soft and the tire takes a second to set in quick lane changes but remains composed once set. Will have to see how it holds up when the weather gets hot and the tread starts to wear down.

No experience with deep snow yet and too soon to gauge tire wear. However, we went to the West coast for a total of 6600 miles through a snow storm in the Rockies and Arizona desert with no tire issues at all. Pleased with my purchase.

Great dry traction and more than acceptable wet traction from these low profile tires. While not made for serious winter conditions, they did OK in light snow. Ride comfort is not the strength of short sidewall low profile tires and potholes can be teeth jarring.

I've driven over 1000 miles on these tires with a mix of highway and city and I'm 100% happy with my purchase. At $90 a tire these are middle of the road price wise but outperform at their price point. I tend to drive a little hard at times and these tires are up to the task. They are much quieter than the last two sets of tires I had on the car; Milestar and the OEM Yokohama. Nice and grippy in the corners with just a bit of flex and pretty smooth over road imperfections. I can't say much as far as the treadwear as I've only covered 1000 miles. Good in the snow because they are new and have a lot of tread on them. For all season tires that won't break the bank, I give them a thumbs up and if they are still available in the future, I would not think twice about buying them again. Basically a $110-120 tire for $90. Great deal.

An absolutely great tire. No idea about snow yet but rain and dry pavement excellent. So quiet I don’t even know they are there as compared to the Mercedes OEM Continental ContacPro I saved a lot of money with the General tires and this will be my replacement tire for now on. Can’t beat the price and quality The quietness is amazing.
