They seem pretty good on paper, and pretty cheap.

I would also like to know.
They have a great rating on Tirerack, but I have yet to own a General tire I really liked.
I am looking for someone with first hand experience with these.

I know people aren't too crazy about General tires, for some reason.
But this one doesn't look that bad.

Anything happening with these tires? Has anyone used these before? They have a decent rating on tire rack and for the price can't be beat.

I love the most recent review. That guy doesn't know tires. At only 50 miles of use, he's still wearing off the release agents from the tires, no wonder they're still slippery!!! Alex should beat this guy with a big stick.

I went with the Cooper Zeon 2XS 215/45/17 for the Dragon, and it definitely held it's own when we ran it in the rain Friday. I was impressed.
