When I wore out the R1s on my extra set of rims decide to just get faster street tires and not worry. I went with the then new Bridgestone Pole Positions, To find out what the best pressures were to autocross, I called Bridgestone. They actually gave me to their Formula 1 tire guy. That was when it was Michelin vs Bridgestone in F1.
He told me he road raced himself and used Pole Positions. Said amazingly enough there was very little difference in those tires ±3psi just be careful not to go over 39psi or they would get too hot in the middles. I quickly found that to be true. And it was great to not always monkeying with tire pressures at autocrosses.
The only problem I had with those tires is if it got to 15°F or lower outside you might as well be driving on ice no matter what the road surface was. Normally they did almost as well wet as they did dry.
Ran Generals on my Plymouth hot rod back in the day. Ran them much more recently on my BMW 3 series. Just don't over inflate them, the are really squirmy over inflated. Just great when properly inflated.
