The General G-Max AS-07 receives generally favorable reviews from users who praise its impressive grip in both dry and wet conditions, responsive handling, and high value relative to more expensive tier-one brands. While many drivers highlight its smooth and quiet ride—often noting significant improvements over stock or expensive run-flat tires—a subset of users report concerns regarding increased road noise as the tread wears, stiff ride quality on certain vehicles, and occasional issues with rapid tread wear.
Two scoring systems, side by side
Owner scores come from reviews found online; road-test scores come from instrumented tests. Where they disagree, it is usually a discipline owners rarely push to the limit.
How scores work
- Relative score
- 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
- Road tests
- 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
- Owner reviews
- 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.
By owner reviews
72/100From 225 owner reviews analysed, scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70.
By road tests
72/100Scaled across every tested tire: the average gets 70, the best 100.

The General G-Max AS-07 receives generally favorable reviews from users who praise its impressive grip in both dry and wet conditions, responsive handling, and high value relative to more expensive tier-one brands. While many drivers highlight its smooth and quiet ride—often noting significant improvements over stock or expensive run-flat tires—a subset of users report concerns regarding increased road noise as the tread wears, stiff ride quality on certain vehicles, and occasional issues with rapid tread wear.
Pros
- Exceptional price-to-performance ratio compared to premium brands like Michelin and Continental
- Strong dry and wet traction with responsive handling and cornering confidence
- Noticeable improvement in ride comfort and noise reduction when replacing stiff factory run-flat tires
- Solid light-snow and all-season capabilities for a performance-oriented tire
Cons
- Some users report increased road noise and a 'thrumbing' sound as the tread wears down
- Stiffer ride quality or firmness that can transmit road imperfections on certain luxury or low-profile setups
- A minority of reviewers experienced faster-than-expected tread wear or premature replacement needs
- Potential for hydroplaning on heavily pooled water with wider tire sizes
Worth knowing
- Drivers replacing expensive factory run-flats on larger or luxury vehicles (such as BMWs and SUVs) frequently reported a much smoother and more comfortable ride.
- Owners of sport compacts and rear-wheel-drive sports cars (like Miatas and Mustangs) appreciated the enhanced cornering grip and predictable handling during spirited driving.
