General G-MAX RS vs Continental SportContact 7 — Compared

“Price no object? Michelin 100%. I have the Generals right now and while they're fine for grip and what not, they are very noisy. I have Michelin X Ice winter tires, and even with the aggressive winter tread, they are considerably quieter than my g-max rs. However I paid about 700 CAD for my set of g-max a couple years ago. So for a price like that, I'm happy. Like anything, expect to get what you pay for.”

“General G-Max RS tires I know they just came out in February 2018 but was wondering if anyone else has had experiences with them yet. From what I’ve dug up, they’re OEM on the new Saleen Mustang. Rated at 360AA. I bring this up because that’s what the dealer has given me after an unfortunate alignment issue with my old tires. Yes I went to the dealer because I trust very few people to work on my car and can afford a little extra. So far these tires haven’t disappointed me but it’s day 1. Highway driving felt very smooth and I hugged the corners going faster than... everyone else. Later today I’m going to take my empty backroad and see how they are in tight turns. General announced these tires are UHP Summer tires meant to attract customers for track and autocross. The only thing that holds me back a little on the throttle is the price tag is SOOO cheap, which is exactly what they wanted. If you have experience with them go ahead and post up please. Read more”

“G-max rs I put 7k miles on these tires and this is the front how many miles would you say I have before problems occur I plan on replacing in a few weeks Read more”

“Had the same dilemma, went for PremiumContact 7 in the end for my Cupra ST300 4drive. Both have great traction when wet and dry, SC7 is more for an overall aggresive driving, while PC7 are bit more comfy, for a mix of sport and city daily cruising. Both are very quiet on the highway.”

“Conti P/Contact 7 Tyres So just went from Michelin PS4’s to the conti premium contact 7 tyres and literally had to double the amount of weights on the alloy to get it to balance. On the outer edge I needed almost 60g. This is pretty much the same for both sides at the front. The alloys are not buckled. No suspension issues. Driving a Skoda Octavia vrs mk3 petrol. I drove on the PS4’s tyres for 13000 miles with no issues and like I said hardly any balancing weights. Has anyone else come across this before? I’ll be honest the past 3 sets of tyres have all been Michelin. **EDIT** The tyres are Sport contact 7’s not the premium as first posted. Apologies. Looking at the rear tyres I had fitted (same brand and model) are only a few weights. Read more”

“Anyone tried the Continental Sport Contact 7 on a GT3 or similar? I'm looking to change my Cup 2 tyres. I will keep them for next summer but as I live in the UK and drive a lot in Europe I want something that is better in colder and wetter climates. I've had and liked the SC7 tyres before and whilst there isn't an N rated version they are available in the correct size, load and speed rating to match the fitted Cup 2s. Even PS4S is only available here in N rated rears and non N rated fronts. Then the remaining options are Goodyear, Pirelli and Bridgestone. It's slim pickings so on balance wanting something for colder and wetter driving it seems the SC7 is a good option despite not being N rated Anyone got experience of these tyres on a 911 and even better the GT cars? Context - street only. Spirited driving in Europe (mix of hot and cold/wet climates). I don't track the car Read more”
