They cost much less than Bridgestone and Michelin but performs very well.

General tires are made by Continential.

If he didnt like the T1R's then he'll hate the Generals. Plus, he asked for an all season tire. The General Exclaim UHP is a summer tire.

How many miles on the T1R's till you noticed the road noise? I was planning to go to those after my Yokahomas...which are quite, but have very bad traction...even dry.

Noticed when I was in Costco yesterday they're having a 25% off Michelin
sale, worth looking into for the best tires on the street. (allright one of the best)

Damn man, the Toyo Proxes T1R are super bada$$, i can deal with the road noise for how the perform ESPECIALLY compared to those P.O.S. Potenzas.

You might look at Pirelli's then, otherwise you'll probably just need to go with a taller tire if road noise is the most important factor for you.

I have FK452s and they are good until they start to wear down below 60% and then you can't even have a conversation w/ the person next to you thats how loud they are. My friend has cheapo Nexen N3000 and he said he likes them. I drove his car and they are super quiet, handle really well for being a lower end tire and good grip in the rain.

I am replacing my T1Rs with BF G-Force T/As this spring. Overall a better tire, better wear, and cheaper. F(245/35/R19) R(295/35/R19)
