General G-MAX RS vs Nitto NT555 G2 — 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”

“Been driving on the General G-Max RS 225's for about a month now and it feels like I'm glued to the road. Now I just need to install my Corksport rear sway bar for even more cornering fun!”

“Finally slapped on the widened steelies with 285/40/17 Nittos NT555 G2.”

“tire question looking to upgrade my tires, i’m running 315s in the rear and can’t seem to hook up still so i want to upgrade. i’m between the Nt555 g2 and the Michelin pilot sport 4s. the nittos are over a thousand dollars cheaper but ive heard they don’t hook up nearly as good. i’m making 450 to the rear wheel so i don’t know if that applies to me but is the price difference worth it for the michelins.”

“Anyone run Nitto NT555 G2’s on their B9 or S5 in general? Hey fam. I’m on the market for new tires and I am trying to find alternatives to Michelin PS4’s and Continental DWS06+ which seem to be the two dominant choices. I have ran DWS on a car I used to own many years ago and my god did they last a lifetime and I never had issues with them at all, they’re excellent. I wouldn’t put PS4’s through their paces as I don’t track my car, and I do go on canyon cruises yes but not all that often. I am going to change from OEM 265/30/20 to 275/30/20 and I can only seem to land on Nitto as the third best alternative. I’m hoping someone, anyone in here has ran these at some point on their car and double hoping someone with a B9 platform has done it. I’d love to hear from you. I’m also kind of a sucker for tread pattern and I must say that the DWS isn’t my favorite and the Nitto looks so nice. But in the end the DWS outperforms Nitto in every category despite the fact that Nitto is an actual max performance summer tire and DWS is an all season. OR if you guys have another recommendation I’d love those too. Please share!”
