PZERO

275/40ZR20
106Y XL 220 AA A 2094 lbs.
50 psi
10/32"
35 lbs. 9-11"
9.5"
11"
10.2"
28.7"

BR , MX , BR PSS

275/35ZR20
RF 300 AA A 1874 lbs.
50 psi
10/32"
27 lbs. 9-11"
9.5"
10.9"
10.2"
27.6"
755

besides the size difference in the side wall the PZERO's are rated to hold 220 lbs more than the PSS. That is why they won't sell you the tires since they do not meet the factory specs GM said these cars should have on them.


Input from others would be appreciated.......Maybe Pete can chime in and give you and me a little more info.
I really appreciate all the technical info. Maybe I'll get the Michelins put on the front!
