General GMax AS03

Has anyone purchased the General GMax AS-03 tires?, If so, what are your reviews/thoughts on them so far? Thinking of getting a set of 205/40/17s for my summer rims so I won't be using them in snow.

Wanted the Nitto Motivo but they are not available in the 205/40/17 size. Any other suggestions for summer/all season tires in this size with excellent dry/wet performance?

Okay, 86 views and no replies later I can now answer myself. Bought the Generals. Very pleased with their performance on both dry and wet, and they won't wear out after one season.

Great looking tread pattern as well. Highly recommend them for the price.

$130 per tire may be pricey in the US but you are in Toronto (and I'm in BC). Assuming you buy locally, what Canadian alternatives would you consider at that price?
