Product Review -- GENERAL G-MAX AS-03 Ultra High Performance All-Season Tire

Just back from summer vacation. Drove around 1200 km on these beauties, the GENERAL G-MAX AS-03 tires. These are pictures of the tires with around 6000 km use on them.

Here is my take on these tires - they are the best all-season tires I have ever driven on. Handling, handling, handling is way above what my Bridgestone Turanza EL470 tires (on the other car currently) deliver. Ride comfort is above average for a high performance sport tire. They were also tested in heavy rain, got caught on the road from Montreal to Toronto in a heavy thunderstorm downpour. The tires sloshed through the water with ease, no hydroplaning whatsoever. The only complaint I have is the relatively higher than average noise level of the tire with the windows open. Another bonus as with most new tires is that they have a tire replacement monitor imbedded in the tread, as in the first picture. This will let you know when it's time to change them.
These tires will not be tested in the snow, here in Quebec we are required to have dedicated snow tires, which is a good thing.
Bought these tires at my local Canadian Tire store, the reason, they offer a 5 year road hazard warranty cross country for about $25 total for all four tires. If they can't fix the tire they will replace it, I highly recommended this road hazard warranty at a very low cost. At first I was a little hesitant in buying these tires because they are built in Mexico rather than Germany. (General and Gislaved tires are a division of Continental tires.) Those fears have been put to rest now, I highly recommend these tires for anyone who does not want to pay overinflated prices for Michelins. Yes they are still considered the best but they are too pricy for the performance. (No bang for the buck)

Awesome buy, unfortunately there is no tire size match for my other car. At this price I would have replaced my stock Bridgestone Turanza EL 470 with these and put the Bridgestones for sale on Kijiji.

Had a set of Bridgestone Potenza tires before on another car which were really good. Not bashing Bridgestone, the Turanzas are really bad, I'm not alone, take a look.
