The process with Simple tire was Simple and web site was easy to use
Haven't had them very long so haven't experienced so of these conditions. Like them so far though.
Great price. Replaced all seasons on an SLK55 Mercedes. No snow here in NC. Good wet traction, as well as dry.
The General GMAX RS is a great tire in both in wet and dry conditions. I have these on my 07 Subaru Legacy GT and they do great in both conditions. Great pricing for a quality tire and they are MADE IN THE USA! Buy them for being a great tire while supporting American workers!!
Good tires for autocross. I don't use them on the street. Good tool for tuning the oversteer/understeer characteristics of the car.
