Tyre characteristicsReinforced tyre (XL)XL means Extra Load. The tyre is reinforced and can carry a higher load than a standard tyre of the same size. Always follow the vehicle's specified load index and tyre pressure.
Rim protection stripRim protectionA raised rubber profile near the bead helps protect the rim edge from light kerb contact. It cannot prevent every type of wheel damage.
Special characteristicsMud and Snow (M+S)M+S is a manufacturer's indication that the tread is intended to offer improved traction in mud and snow. By itself it is not the same as the tested 3PMSF winter certification.Suitable for electric vehiclesThis tyre is optimised for the weight, torque, rolling resistance and noise requirements of electric and hybrid vehicles. The marking does not mean that it can only be used on an EV.

Load indexThe load index indicates the maximum load capacity per tyre.114 (max. 1180 kg)
The tough highway terrain tyre with extremely well balanced product performance and significantly improved tread life over its predecessor.
Excellent ride quality and exceptional grip in wet conditions
Enhanced tread life in rugged terrain conditions
Comfortable and pleasant ride
High mileage thanks to even wear and extended tread life.
The StabiliTread Technology combines a flat footprint for even pressure distribution with optimized pattern stiffness to minimize wear-causing distortion. With additional long wearing tread compound the tyre’s wear resistance improved ignificantly.
The advanced pattern design with multiple block edges and sipes equips the tread with a high number of grip edges to ensure outstanding ride quality with remarkable control even on wet surfaces
A cushioned tread isolates the vehicle from road disturbances with an absorption layer. Ribs located on both sides of the pattern work as a sound barrier to reduce sound generated in the centre of the pattern.
With a robust compound that achieves excellent cut and chip resistance, the tread remains its great performance even in harsh terrains.

Handles well
Comfortable over rough surfaces. My old set used to thump over every bump. No squirm even on hot asphalt.

Happy with the purchase
My mechanic recommended General and he was right. Quiet, stable, no complaints. Grip when pulling away on wet junctions is much better than my old tyres. No squirm even on hot asphalt.
