    Quiet smooth ride, reasonable price, good warranty, dealers mentioned the tires. Said he bought them and I took his word. Wasn’t in market to buy but was unhappy with tires purchased from big box store. Previous tires were noisy and bumpy ride so I was a easy sell.

    I found General Tire to be a smooth ride and a great buy. They came in a type of tire I had been purchasing of another brand which I had thought could not be bested. However they were just as good if not better than the more pricey brand purchased for years until I discovered General Tire.

    I just had a set of General Tire Altimax 365AW installed earlier today on my 2011 GMC Terrain and although I have only put about 15 km on them I must say I am impressed! It's like I have a softer suspension. It's just gliding over bumps that before, with my old tires (Michelins), it hit hard. A nice quiet soft ride! Quite impressed!

    Much less expensive than the more expensive Michelin with almost exact same performance ratings. Have them on all our vehicles. Having run Michelin top rated tires, which are as good as the Generals, and knowing that Michelin offers a less expensive poorly rated dealer choice tire, at the same price as the General tire, I have to be concerned that my "Trust" in the Michelin brand has been corroded. Perhaps financially it might be okay to trade on your brand name for the short term but as buyers become more aware of the deception, the long term value of the deception should affect the sales figures perhaps. I know it has been somewhat profound for me, as I no longer trust their brand to deliver value throughout their product line. This is the main reason I fleet with Generals. Regardless of cost I don't want to play games with trying to figure out which Michelin tire is good and which is not up to their standard.

    I've had all three of the other tires. Michelin pilots that came on my fusion wore out in 29,000 miles. The Continentals that came on my 2015 CRV were the noisiest tires I've ever had. The Michelins that came on an escort had knots in the sidewalls and all had to replaced before 30,000 miles. The Goodyears and Generals have done much better than the other two.

    The tires is a cheaper. My tire it was bought from Walmart. These tires are not the best of tires there. Own a 2008 Jeep patriot and the towers are probably the best thing on the jeep because it’s not safe to drive.

    My car is a Nissan Altima S-ER and it came equipped with high performance tires. When I replaced the tires for the first time I replaced them with "General G-Max" high performance tires. They are an all season traction grabbing high performance tire.

    Great tires for the money. My family members have bought this brand for forty years. They have a great reputation for performance and value. The pricing for a set of four tires is very competitive and represent a really good deal for me. I will continue doing business with them as I’ve been totally satisfied with their product performance.
