They DO NOT perform well at speed below about 45-50F
Your third set since 2009? Holy Cow! How many miles do you get? I got ~ 15K out of my Falkens, but one (important) reason I'm looking at the Generals is the warranty. For $190 delivered, I'll have tires warrantied for 22.5K and Road Hazard insurance for the flotsam and jetsam one sees on the roads here in Ala-by damn-bama.

They certainly won't be as sticky as 280 rubber, but I really don't carve up too many curves. Really!?

I'm serious.

Really!

Thanks for your thoughts on this, guys.
