General Tires

Most tire experts will tell you that General makes good tires for the money. They are not the most expensive tires you can buy, but they aren’t the cheapest. With a mid-price tire, you tend to get average performance, handling, and noise reduction — with General, though, expect slightly higher than average marks for treadwear, noise reduction, and longevity for the price. Many General Tire models include a unique built-in feature that lets you know when a tire needs to be replaced. As the tread wears on your tires, the words “replace tire” appear, which lets you know the tread depth is nearing the end of the tire’s life.

Back in 2015, General Tire celebrated “100 years of reliability” when the brand hit the centennial mark. Founded in Akron, Ohio, alongside BFGoodrich, Goodyear, and Firestone, General Tire has deep roots in the US tire market. In 1987, German-based Continental Tire acquired General Tire but kept the name brand that had become so familiar to US consumers. 

General tires are made in several places around the world, including North America (US and Canada), Europe (Germany), South America (Brazil), and Asia (Thailand).
