205/60/R16 92H rated, made in Romania.
My initial impression, the tire is softer than the outgoing MVV4's, which leads to a more comfortable, compliant, ride. While highway noise levels to my ear seems about the same, lower speed travel (~25-40mph) over smooth roadway produces a noticeable "hum" or alternately, "wub-wub" from the tread. The Accord is historically known to allow more road noise into the cabin than most.
Handling is very good in normal driving though the softer sidewall can lend to a feeling of "push" at higher cornering speeds, for instance, highway on and off ramps. This is more a driver's feeling than any comment on ultimate roadholding, traction, or safety.
MPG this May to last remains virtually unchanged with similar driving patterns, the General's averaging 31.69 to the MXV'4s 31.64. The General is not advertised as a LRR tire, so I am pleased with this. I do have them inflated 3psi over Honda's spec 32/30 psi front/rear.
These were balanced on a non-Roadforce machine. Of note 2 of the 4 do not have weights on the rims.
I cannot comment on wet or snow handling at this time.
Overall, I am pleased. Time will tell how they age. At ~$420 OTD including tax, lifetime balance/rotation, roadhazard, and front-end alignment I'd consider them an excellent value.
