I do like my new General Altimax HP's (stock 185/60R15's) but they are a bit louder and there's no improvement in dry grip over the Eagles. Even though the General's are H-rated, their sidewalls are no stiffer than the T-rated Goodyear's so highway performance is the same.
I admit that my opinion of the General's is based on two things: I'm stuck with 'em & they have a cool-looking tread. The General's were also cheaper than the Goodyear's...

That doesn't mean that what Toyota does is the right choice for everybody.
