There are a new model of tire by General (2005) - whats the word about them?

i have them and for the price there great. I really dont think their grip is on par with the falken tires i had last year tho on a set of 19's. Really good in the wet, but i mean ive only had them on my car for a week so mabe there still braking in. I have 235/35/19 and 265/30/19 rear.

depends on the weather
they are actually very impressive and a really good value .... I am putting them on my daily driver in April and I'm a tire snob as you can imagine

the tire place that mounted my 19's insisted that i left the tires at 45 psi, i really think this is the issue with my lack of grip, Im gonna lower that back down to 35 later..

Mercedes
How does this compare to the Goodyear Eagle F-1 GS-D3? The goodyears are the best tire I've ever had and don't want anything less, would I be making a compromise if I get the General tires? Thanks.
