All Season Tire Question

Hey everyone, I am upgrading my rims and tires from the 18's black steel wheels of terror on my LS and I have a question about Tires. I have the stock 20 rims already in my possesion, I just need an opinion on a good all season performance tire. what is your opinion on a tire that is not going to lose all its tread in a matter of 15,000 miles like the summer Pzero's.

Thank you for your input

Continental Extreme Contact DWS....have a really high treadwear rating, but still considered a high-performance all-season. Lot's of people on here have them, and love them.

GENERAL G-MAX AS-03's GREAT tires....its what I am running even though I don't need anything for snow that is for sure, HOWEVER, they are highly rated and will last a LONG time on a Camaro, they have a UTGQ rating of 480 AA. Seeing as how I got 33K out of my Pirelli's Summers.....which have a UTGQ of 220, this could be the last set of tires till I hit 100K!!

The G-MAX AS-03 is General Tire's Ultra High Performance All-Season tire is developed to combine ultra high performance handling with all-season traction in dry, wet and wintry conditions, even in light snow.

and on top of all that.......you can get them at Tire Rack for $200 each!

got the G-maxes and there great, though I don't plan to run her in any kind of snow, just like the idea that I don't have to swap out tires and if I really needed to drive her in light snow I could.

The Toyo Proxes4 is exactly what you are looking for. An excellent riding tire, quiet, all-season and W-Rated

Like I said before, these are the all season tires I just put on my SS. Paid $1204.00 insalled. Not too many miles on them yet but in 30 degree weather they rock over the P/Zeros.
