Seems we don't have General tyres here...

after asking around about what tires are proving to be efficient on our roads and seeing the prices, i narrowed it down to one of the two options:

1- BF Goodrich Macadam. Made in France. The euro guys must know about it... seems of good quality (Sticky rubber if you rub it with your fingers) and a "serious" pattern that seems good in evacuating water for hydroplaning resistance... XL rated, but 109H not 109V

2- Nitto 420s. Great pattern, so stylish, artistic and agressive... it's XL rated as well, and 109V (so handles more speed, so must have a better structure?). I just don't know how good it is in evacuating water with only one groove on the side... the reviews say that it resists hydroplaning and good wet traction... the thing is that I have a sixth sense that more attention was put on the aesthetics...

My heart goes to Nitto, my brain to Macadam... I'll ponder a little more about the topic... any information about those 2 tyres is appreciated

Cheers
