General G-Max AS-03 Tires - Page 6 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Just a quick update....I had the opportunity to use these tires in a few very bad rainstorms and the early October snow storm in NJ.....they handled great, excellent traction, no complaints. Very satisfied.

Had the AS-03's installed yesterday after purchasing from TireRack last month. They are same size as stock Pirelli's. The front's shipped immediately but the rear's took 4 weeks to arrive due to back-order.

Haven't driven over 50MPH yet and only on dry roads so I can't comment on noise and handling. The one thing I did notice is they don't pick up gravel and debris the way the Pirelli's do! I can't stand the sound of dirt and fine road gravel spraying the wheel well on what appears to be a clean, dry street.

Here's a few pics - I really like the look of the tread.

Sounds like everyone is liking these tires. Any complaints yet? Next week I am having these put on my son's LT/RS with the Havoc Black chrome wheels for his birthday/graduation gift. Will this be a good combo for him? He looked at a lot of wheels and decided he wanted something different like the Havoc. We have not seen a set on a car yet.

I just had the general g-max's installed yesterday front and rear. So far i really like them, traveling between jacksonville and st. augustine on I-95 at one point I hit 108MPH and was happy with the way the tire rode.

Well I hope my son doesn't test his out at 108.

However I remember being 18 and driving my Corvette at 110 on way home from college. But I think my son is a little smarter then I was.

well, it's not like I was passing cars at 108mph, there was no one around me when I stepped on it.

Oh I don't, that's why I was doing 110 in a 75 corvette that wasn't near as safe as his 2010 camaro. But I also know he is scared to death of getting a ticket and getting to drive his mom's HHR with the pink BASBEALL MOM license plate frame for the next 6 months. Some say I was stupid for buying my 16 year old a camaro, but it has been the best thing to hang over his head as a punishment if he messed up. But he is a great kid and has not been in trouble 1 time in his life.

Anyone know if discount tire carries them. I live in new construction and nails are common so I would want to be easily be able to go to discount and get new ones that I'm afraid tire rack can not do for me

the discount tire here was going to get them for me but after looking said they were unavailable at this time, back ordered. Even still, I got a better deal at suntire and they were able to get them for me.
