Rating 4.0

My initial impression of the Generals is that they are quite comfortable. Compared to the PSS, I think they definitely provide a better ride in normal driving situations. I’ve seen this is chalked up to a softer sidewall, and I can confirm that. Noise levels are good too.

In spirited driving, I think the Generals are perfect for the street. The main detractor I noticed is that they are a bit more vague than the PSS in the initial turn-in before providing that on-rails feeling of holding grip through corners. My unofficial test for grip is seeing if I can double the recommended speed that you can see on a sweeping on ramp or exit. The Generals delivered without much drama. These tires are perfectly at home on a windy back road as well.

Pros: comfortable, good noise levels
Cons: vague initial turn-in
Vehicle: Volkswagen
Mileage: 1200 km

After one week of ownership I purchased a new set of General Altimax rt43's (replaced the OEM Conti's) that are rated V, max 149 mph. They have worn like iron, have great grip and are very quiet, even after 20k miles.

Pros: worn like iron, great grip, very quiet
Mileage: 20000 km

I've been happy with General Altimax RT43 tires on my previous cars, good balance of quality and price for an all around tire.

Pros: good quality and price

I've been running general g max as-05s and been pleasantly surprised with their performance. Nothing close to the 200 treadwear summers I've run, but decent for an all season.

Pros: decent for all season
Cons: not close to summers

You will never get the q4 hot enough and will be more prone to low side, the exact thing you are trying to avoid.

Cons: prone to low side

I'm on ZII's on my "street wheels" and while they're fine for around town, I've never liked them from a performance perspective. Compared to the purpose built 200TW cheater tires (e.g. RE71R, RT660, RS4) the ZII's give up a LOT of grip and probably seconds per lap at a racetrack.

Pros: fine for around town
Cons: gives up a lot grip
