What owners say

No road-test results yet, so every score here comes from owner reviews found online.

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.

Themes extracted from 23 owner reviews found online.

The General G MAX AS 03 receives generally favorable reviews for its strong wet and dry traction, capable snow performance, and attractive price point. However, user experiences are divided due to complaints regarding soft sidewalls, bouncy ride quality, and a tendency to develop significant road noise and cupping over time.

Pros

  • Excellent wet and dry traction and grip
  • Surprising and capable performance in snow and winter weather
  • Aggressive tread pattern and sporty handling feel
  • High value and competitive pricing

Cons

  • Soft sidewalls leading to a bouncy ride and body roll
  • Develops loud humming or road noise over time
  • Prone to uneven wear such as cupping
  • Slight loss of traction in deep standing water

Worth knowing

  • Drivers of performance-oriented cars like the SRT8 noted that the soft sidewalls caused excessive body roll and squishiness during hard cornering.
  • Owners of vehicles like the Ford Mustang and Focus ST reported impressive confidence and traction in both wet conditions and unexpected snow storms.
