Rating 4.0

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.

Pros: good tire, handles weight well

GENERAL TIRE Tires

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.

Pros: great tire
Cons: slippage in rain
Vehicle: Mazda 6

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.

Pros: excellent treadwear, quiet
Vehicle: Mazda 6
Mileage: 25000 km

I ran sumitomo htr z5 for a few years and liked them a lot (summer/perf). Currently on vredestein quattrac pro which is more of an all season sport touring, and meh, I like them and they're great at what they are but I miss having performance tires in the summer.

Pros: liked them a lot
Cons: miss performance tires

GENERAL TIRE Tires

I had the RT43s on our old Civic because they were rated really well in the rain (they were great) and they Lasted somewhere around 110k kms. They still had tread at this point but we're almost to the wear bars and we're getting noisy so I replaced them.

Pros: rated well in rain, lasted long
Cons: getting noisy
Vehicle: Honda Civic
Mileage: 110000 km

For $70 I can buy Japanese made Sumitomos which have perfectly adequate grip in most conditions and long life, but they are quite loud due to the aggressive tread.

Pros: adequate grip, long life
Cons: quite loud
Vehicle: Honda

I know this thread is almost a year old...But it was one of the first things to pop up in Google.   I bought a Challenger with the Sumitomo all seasons. 245/45r20. They were terrible tires. I figured I try to get 2 years out of them and it didnt happen. They were manufactured in March 2023.  Lasted 12,000 miles before one of them separated from the side wall in November 2024. I got a set of new tires at discount tire and they showed me that 2 of the other tires were starting exactly the same thing. Separating the tread from the side walls. All on the inside so I couldnt see it.  The car shook over 75mph...They wouldnt hold air pressure...They were downright dangerous in winter conditions. They were very noisy and wouldnt grip even on a hot road surface.

Cons: terrible tires, dangerous, noisy
Vehicle: Dodge
Mileage: 12000 km
