My New General G Max's
Just bought my General G Max all season set. Just had about 15,000 miles and the stock pirelli p zeros were shot. I got 275/40/20, square setup on 20x9 rims. The square setup seems like it handles better, like the front dives in better around corners. It also look more aggressive than i thought! Will be selling the front stock pirellis if any one is interested. Got them for $750 ($190 each) and installed plus taxes total of $900, which i thought was a great price.
gotta clean my rims badly |

That is my next tire, do you notice that they are a little narrower than the Pirelli's?
(the rears are supposed to be 1/2 inch narrower, but the fronts wider....)

I have put right at 17000 miles on my GMax's and will be good for many MANY more miles.

General Gmax
Seems like a lot of people like the Generals. I just put them on my Car to the Gmax. I did a 1 inch drop. Have had the car on Watkins Glen road course at least 10 times with the pzero. One time with the generals the car rides much smoother & handles a lot better on the track. Just my opinion.

So these are actually a pretty decent tire? I've read a number of reviews that say they're too loud and don't necessarily last long or offer any performance increase. I'm interested to hear more.

yeah a lot of us here run, Gmax's I've never had problems with them. And no increase in noticeable noise.
I have 15,000 miles on mine currently and still holding good (only got 16k out of the pzeros)
