- Just purchased these new General G-MAX AS 05
tires for the Accord size 245/40/19. This is my review on them after about 500 miles of driving. There is a huge improvement in ride quality. Handling and wet are awesome! All around this is a great choice of tire for someone looking to change from their OEM equipt tires.

Took your advice bro. Didn’t get the Generals because they were out of stock but I did get Falken Ziexs in the same size. Such a better ride than the stock tires.
Nice, yeah what a difference in ride quality 👌
Had these on my Mk4 GTI...as far as snow goes, you will have traction, but let the traction control do its job and don't overdrive the conditions. These tires aren't miracle workers. They are for occasional snow, the fresher, the better. They do not act like an All weather tire and are far from a winter tire. I'm thinking of going back to general and dumping my conti (same company) dws06 for the gmax AS-05 and get a quieter tire w/similar performance for less money (235/45/17)
On 2nd pair on my MK7 GTI. What a deal. Great tires - great price.
Great looking Accord! cool looking tires. Usually better to switch out of the stock tires when possible, and these sound way better!
Good information. About to get the same tire size in a different brand Kumho. The oems drove like trash imo even though they gave me close to what they are rated for, 45k miles. I feel like this size should've been stock. They look better.
Edit: Ended up with the Eagle Touring tires oem for a steal. $425 installed on Prime day, $200 Prime gift card +6% cashback.
I just bought these exact tires along with new wheels and I'm getting the 70$ rebate I'm excited 💯💯💯
I see you bro, working those paddle shifters on the highway! I do the same lol. Btw thanks for this tire recommendation I think in addition to performance it will improve the overall look as well.
I had these tires on my 2018 Elantra Sport and for all seasons they are super good handling tires. Should be picking up a 21 2.0T sport soon. Will probably swap the oem tires out with the generals.
I don't really hear any difference in road noise. I just bought a new 2022 accord hybrid with 235/40/19 96V Michelin primacy mxm4 . They are SUPER QUIET but also expensive.
I've got the 18' and I'm in desperate need of tires. I'm surprised you haven't seen more downside from those...both in noise and overall performance. The warranty is for 80K miles and that tends to lead me to believe the compound is much harder than the 55K OEM touring tires (in my case OEM was Michelin Primacy AS Touring). I've been leaning toward the Michelin Pilot All-Season but am concerned about mileage.
I'm putting these on my 1987 Monte Carlo SS on 17" Year One N90 wheels. (Same as my stock wheels just 17's instead of 15's) 245/45/17 front 275/40/17 rear. Looking forward to it. My MC is a couple nice weather weekend's away from road worthy.
Dan, try the Michelin Pilot Sport 4s on your next switch. There is no better tire..PERIOD!
I have a 2.0T now, but I had them on a 2016GS350 Fsport and they inspire confidence ...
I used to have the pilot a/s 3's on my previous 335i and they were awesome as well only down side was snow traction. Not sure if these are any better in snow. Onenof the reasons for trying these generals out
I’ve found General Tires to ride nicer on any vehicle. I’m sold on General, and they last a long time too!
I have a question as far as the dimensions the only thing that changed was the width? OEM came with 235? And yours are 245 correct?
The width and the height. First number is the width the second is the aspect ratio. If you increase the with from 235-245 even if the second number remains thr same it will be taller than the original 235
I don't understand why Honda put goodyears on the 2.0T sport and michelins on the 1.5T sport. Quietness is a major factor for me. Nice review bro
Thank you! I don't get it either, those Goodyears are way too noisy. Glad they're gone
@Julian Castineira sport or touring?
@Julian Castineira damn... okay. Still prefer them over the goodyear
@Julian Castineira
My Sport 2.0t 10A came with Michelin Pilots as well.
My 1.5T came with Goodyears
I jus put some new tires on my 2018 2.0 sport but I went with 255/40/19
Continental DSW . Made a huge difference in handling
Any rubbing or clearance issues running that?
I have a 2019 accord 1.5 sport
No rubbing and handles much better , only thing my gas mileage sucks even more
@@guyblac48 Hi Travis, could we connect to discuss the 255/40/R19 install? I have some questions as I'm considering it myself- Efrain.
You tjink 255 45 19 fit ? Im looking a reliablility and comfort
@@linux1500
I’m jus seeing this text
lol
Great vid!! Anybody running on 245/45/19 ?? I wanted to get my accord as elavated as possible
I like the tread pattern with better cornering and handling well , and quieter always a positive importance. Never was really impressed with my stock Goodyear on my 18 Accord luckily my hybrid came with Michelin’s. General I know makes nice Tires at a great price Thankyou for sharing your knowledge Dan Great Vid as always. Looking forward to track reviews on them. I also got my Lasfit mats yesterday I bought after watching a great vid showing great pics of install that you did Take care bro
Put Goodyear Assurance Comfort Drive 235/40/19 OEM size. Excellent bump absorbing shock absorbing and confidence in the curves. Way better than stock Goodyear Eagle touring tires.
Goodyear Assurance Comfort Drive ride like a luxury car with athletic running shoes.
Great video
Would u think 245/45/19 would fit on your car? , I’m thinking the backs yes but the fronts I’m not sure, thanks
I’m totally sold on these tires. Thank you for posting this! I could use some advice, though. I’ll need two new tires probably next spring. Will it be safe riding with two 235s on the rear and two 245s on the front? I would assume there’d be virtually no difference, right?
No problem! You could get away with it size wise. I'm not a fan of mismatched tires. Every tire has it's own personality so to speak, sometimes not everyone gets along
@@DanVilla7 Great! Thanks man! I was dreading the thought of having to replace all 4 when I just got 2 new ones last summer after getting the prior 2 sliced by some piece of metal on the road 😅🙄
Nice bro I think I'll try to get 245s instead of the 235s . I had bought Goodyear tires a set of 2 and put them in the rear . Bro it sucked so bad because it would drive wobbly smh so I had to put them in the front and it drives great. But thats kinda of wired. Great video bro im going to subscribe to your channel 👍
Thanks man, appreciate it!
Thanks for the review. There aren’t a lot out their for these.
No problem, thanks for watching!
Is it grippy? No wheel spins? Faster 0-60 launch?
Just subbed I like your content bro 🤟🏾
Thanks appreciate it
Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm curious if they are running quieter because of the tread pattern or because the tire height is about 1/4" higher than the OEM tires. Hondas are always louder than most (which is the only thing I dislike about them). I'm also curious if you've had any problems due to the higher tire height (clearance, speedo/odo, shifting problems, etc). Thanks again for the awesome video!
Zero issues and my car is lowered
@@DanVilla7 thanks again Dan, much appreciated
Is it worth it to go up to 245s? Or just stick to 235? Talking about just pure performance
Wider is going to help with cornering and straight line traction. I would say yes
anyone kno how to order the tire with the carved out part near the lip of the rim to protct from curb rash , they came factory on my 2018 accord ... can anyone tell me what those kind of tires are called ...
hi dan, hows the tires holdin up? planning to switch with 235/40/19 for all 4...and did it change your gas mileage? would u still recommend?
They are great , would definitely recommend
What are your thoughts on inexpensive tires like Road Hugger GT Ultra? They are made by Khumo tires. I've see good reviews on them same specs as the Generals you have. They are all season, good cornering, hydroplaning resistance and quite too. I recently bought a 2018 Accord Touring 2.0t one owner Honda pre-owned certified.
I personally wouldn't, even the Generals are on the cheap side to be honest. I'm very happy with them so far. Tires are the only thing connecting you to the road. I wouldn't go but so off brand just my $ .02
Beautiful bro!! Where did you get your front lip from?
Thanks! Got it from ebay referred to as the V1 lip , don't have the seller I got it from but it can be found all over
I noticed with my 275s all around the car hates LKAS. It constantly goes left to right probably because its not calibrated for the extra effort. That's the price you pay going super wide. :) 20x10 w/ 275s x4.
Could be the tread pattern. Wide tires are more susceptible to tracking with uneven pavement. In the good old days when I had my Corvette Z06 the oem Goodyears would do that, changed them out for Michelins and completely went away
@@DanVilla7 yeah, the crazy part is the car goes straight without any issues. It just struggles using LKA like its over correcting back and forth. Oh well. Lol.
That is pretty crazy.
Can you help me out with choosing tires? I have 20x9 verde quantum v25 rims and was wondering what’s the thickest tires I can run on them to fill the empty gap and make it look fuller.
Dan, have you had issues with flat spots on the tires after parking the car overnight?
I have been reading some reviews and some people have reported that issue on these tires...
I heard the same, left it parked 3 days straight 0 issues. My friend had the older versions the gmax 03's and it would do that.
@@DanVilla7 thanks for the answer!
Hello Dan,
Quick question, did you have to change anything to go from 235 to 245 tire size? Looking to get a set of 4 but don’t want to go through the trouble of returning them if they don’t fit. Please and thank you for your time!
No modification necessary to run them. But my car is lowered and has spacers. There's a link in the description for the tires if you need
ive tried...I cant hear the difference in road noise from the video.
Good on my Fusion turbo. Very high speeds go to Vegas no problem.
Did you have any issues running wider tires
Are these a budget buy? I live in Miami.. what’s your recommendation.
Love your review bro awesome definitely getting out of the OEM’s. Now my question is what is the widest and tallest you can go. Cause my thinking is the “taller vertically and thicker wide tires the Better in confort and ride. Please help thanks.
Thanks ! On the stock wheel you can go with a 265 maxed out. I'm not sure how much taller you can go.
I have that same rim on my car with stock suspension Do they rub when turning or hitting bumps i was thinking about getting the same size tire on a 06 acura tsx or should i do a 235/40/19 @DanVilla7
I have 2018 20t but my factory or Michelin you i need a set of new tires and i was looking on this one
Thanks for the review. I have a 2019 accord touring 2.0. Was thinking about doing the same thing. Any change in fuel eco?
No problem! I Haven't noticed a difference in mpg's
I recomend it oem tires are crap
Did the wider tires cause any issues when fitting to the stock rims?
Not at all, you can go even wider without any issues
I going to put 235/40/19 tires on my 18 accord do you think they will rub with 2 inch drop ??
Do u know if they would fit a stuck accord 2019 without any rubbing when you turn?
They will fit with out rubbing. My car is lowered but does have 20mm spacers as well and zero issues
You have 20mm spacers all around? I got 25mm spacers all around and the rear is perfectly flush but the front has a tiny bit of poke.
Yep 20mm front and rear
@@DanVilla7 ahh okay, if you're ever looking to go a little wider in the rear lmk, ill trade a pair of my 25mm for your 20s. I wanna fix my front 😂
What you think about getting and installing the comma.ai it makes the accord self driving like the Tesla
I think it's cool but wouldn't use it. Lane keep assist bothers me. I would much rather be imcontrol
Did you notice any gas mileage difference comparing to OEM? Thanks.
I didn't
Nice tires. Do u have ur front windshield tinted
Thanks! Nope just a tint strip at the top of it.
Is your honda a factory lowered?
It's on H&R Springs
Were those expensive? I am looking at some michelins and wondering if they are overkill.
They weren't bad at all. I paid 750 mounted and balanced. Then found they had a $70 rebate and got that back in about a week or so. Not sure if they are still running the promotion for the rebate on 4 tires
I’d be careful with the choppy launch. The slippery launch isn’t hard on the drivetrain, the constant hammering of the choppy launch, will eventually trash your differential. My 2021 Touring is my 29th car, and believe me when I say I’ve left some transmissions on the ground with trashed differentials. We don’t really know how strong these 10 speeds are, but I would err on the side of caution with the transmission.
Already ordered the upper torque mount for this. Should be the fix
@@DanVilla7 hopefully that helps. 👍
@@g.dubyou6263 I will report back with a video once the part comes in
Brilliant…:) 🥂🥂
. We'll see how they wear out a little. The tread looks like it will serrate
What summer tire would u recommend? Where I live has no snow. Thx
If your willing to spend the money, Michelin Pilot Super Sport . Its an amazing tire
@@DanVilla7 Thx. Yeah definitely expensive
Yo I have a 1.5T sport . So the stock tire size is 235/40R19 .. so my question is will your tire size fit mine? You installed like 245/40R19
Yes would it fit your car as well
@@DanVilla7 thanks bro. So are you noticing any gas mileage or the car noise is increasing anything like that? Also how much was 4set of these?
Because I still have my stock Goodyear Eagle tire and when I went to Honda service they said I need to change my all 4tires. And new one will cost me $760+tax(btw my car mileage is 27k
@@samidpersia9832 cost me around 680 mounted and balanced out the door after the rebate
@@DanVilla7 im in my longisland what tire shop did you go to .?
if anyone sees this thank you:
id like a small lift to the car im thinking 19/40/255 what do you guys think
Hi .. Just asking I have 1.5 Honda accord 2018 looking to get some tires not changing anything but suspensions but I want to know if I have a set of Rotiorms size 19” 8.5 ‼️ can I put 245.40.18 on or 235.40.18❓ trying to fill the cabin but don’t want no rubbing ❗️
The tire size wont cause any rubbing woth stock wheels. The wrong offset of an aftermarket wheel can
I have a quick question for you, Ive been having a lot of problems with the rough roads here in California and if I hit a pot hole instaint tear in the tire. I have gone through about 2 to 3 tires so far cause of this and a rim. I have a 2018 accord 2.0T and the low profile tires are a pain. So my question..is this a thicker tire that helps with that? Can these tires take a little more abuse? I try to avoid any kind of cracks and holes like the plauge now so I would like a tire that can take an impact incase if I hit something 😅
Yes will definitely help also not having enough pressure in your tires can contribute to bubbles easier and bent wheels
@@DanVilla7 Ok,, great thanks for the help!
Just FYI, I just bought these but the newer model the AS-07 245/40R19. It appears to be the same tire just newer model, so I’d go that route because there is a possibility the AS-05’s might be discounted for the AS-07. I just came back from them being installed but I can confirm what Dan said they are quieter and better in the rain.
do you need spacers for the wider tires ? or can i run them on my stock 2.0T accord?
They will fit without spacers
how's the plasti dip on the rear diffuser holding up?
It's holding up very well looks almost as good as when it was first done.
I'm about to order winter tires. Do you think 235 45 19 will be OK. I want more sidewall for the winter. I haven't seen a 10th gen with 45s yet
It wouldn't be a problem your speedo will be off by a few % reading slower than you are actually going
@@DanVilla7 Nice bro. I knew it would be off a Lil. Michigan roads are ass. I need more sidewall lol. Thanks for the fast response!
@@DarrinLintz710 no problem!
My only concern is that the tire doesn't have enough siping "slits" for lack of a better word (very important for snow traction). I have a still night pearl 2.0 in NY... I'm actually eye balling some pirelli cinturato p7 all season plus II's.... Not a 100% sold, but as a long time repair shop owner, they may be the best bang for the buck... At least in the north east.
I agree with the more sipes the better for snow. I wanted an ultra high performance all season for traction reasons. They supposedly have good snow reviews on tire racks tests ( I'll find out this comming winter how accurate those were lol) The Pirelli you mentioned is a grand touring all season, it's pretty hard to have it all in a tire. Will always have to compromise somewhere when it comes to all seasons
@@DanVilla7 that's the truth on no tire does everything great... Being in NY though, I tend to value snow traction above all else
@@chris_favreau I'm in NY also but have a truck for the real bad days
@@DanVilla7 that makes sense...I don't have a truck, the Accord is my daily/only driver lol
Try the Falken Ziex 950 tires. I've heard owners say they do great in snow. Very good all around tire.
Did you have to recalibrate your speedometer to match the wider tires?
No need really, speedo will be off by 1% give or take
@DanVilla7 appreciate the reply. I'm planning on running the same tires you are with 8.5 wheels
Also they have an AA Traction and an A Temp rating.
Dan can I just throw this size tire on the stock sport wheel? Or do I also have to run on a spacer
You can use this size or go even wider with no other modification
Did you have to recalibrate the speedometer?
I didn't but the speedo is only just over 1% off. Not really a big deal for me but maybe for some.
Have you experienced any flat spotting ? I’ve seen people online saying they experienced flat spot even just parking over night on these tires
I have heard the same but haven't experienced that. I was away for a few days and my car was sitting and when I drove it was totally normal. My friend had the old a/s 03s and he said it would happen.
@@DanVilla7 that’s good to know thanks 👍
Hope you all made it through the flooding
Thanks, no damage or flooding in my area. Hope all is well
How many miles did the OEM goodyear last before it started wearing out?
Mine lasted 30k miles, but I do mostly city driving, a lot of braking, turns.

Yes lowered and 20mm spacers
Can these tires fit on the regular 2018 accord sport ? (Not 2 O.T)
Yes definitely

Yeah should fit with no issues but the sidewall will be taller.
@@DanVilla7 Hello, Thank you very much for your answer, if I installed them but I did not like them, it makes a lot of noise. I am thinking of installing a 225/45/19, do you think they will work well?
You think 255s would fit stock wheel?
Absolutely
@@DanVilla7 word. I want to quiet the cabin down. Hoping this helps
The side wall height will help more than width. So your best bet would be 255/40/19 . That will increase the thickness of your side wall
Rim size?
19"
What is normal tire pressure?
I want to say 33lbs but to confirm the correct tire pressure is located by the latch of the driver's side door.
Those factory tires suck honda should be ashamed of themselves 😫😅. Gonna try the wider tires though. 👍
Yeah pretty bad man...
Just put Firestone firehawk on my 2018 accord not completely satisfied with them
Really? I've heard great things about them. What don't you like?
They louder than goodyear I had
@@vicguti843 damn... these are way quieter but won't hook up like the firehawks. Also all season tires vs summer
can i put this on a 2016 accord?
Sure
Can this fit a stock 2019 accord sport?
Of course
@Dan Villa Thanks. I also been interested in a remote start for my car, are you aware of the key fob hack and if so does it work?
These tires are great in the rain and on dry pavement in the snow they suck. I live in michigan had these tires for 3 years now.
Damn that's disappointing...the reviews said they are good which was another reason I purchased them. My buddy had the older as 03's on his e36 m3 and they were really good in the snow. I hope I'm experience is different than yours. Same car as me?
@@DanVilla7 their ok first year but after you put 20k on them they get pretty slippery in the snow
Ok gottcha, thanks for the feedback. My oem goodyears only lasted 22k total.
I wouldn't compare road noise with old vs new tires. But both tires in new condition and how well they hold up over time.
He stated in an earlier video that his Goodyear Eagles were louder than the Generals when new.
How much for them
I believe after the rebate was just under 700 installed
