Camaro needs new tires!!! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Hi All,

Has anyone replaced their tires with anything other than what was on the Camaro when you bought it? if so what ones did you go with. Looking to get some new tires soon.

Thx

YES, General G-Max AS-03's.....they are a all season, have very good wet and dry traction and will last a LOT longer than the Pirelli's.

I'm in the same situation.

I'm stuck between the Continental Extremecontact DWS, Toyo Proxes 4, and General Gmax AS-03. I done alot of price searching and depending where I go they are generally the same price.

FYI, the Gmax AS-03 275/40/20 is on back order at Tire Rack.

I just got the all season Toyo Proxes4's for my SS.
Quiet, great traction, inexpensive....... Nothing not to like.

This is true.....but I called my local Discount Tire and they were being put on my car 3 days later. They just had to get them from another store.

Interesting. I was shopping on discount tire website and they didn't list the size I needed for the Gmax. I think it was the 275/40/20 that wasn't listed. Ill double check. Might have to call my local stores.

Discount tire was able to find a set of 275/40/20 GMax's. They ordered them yesterday and said they were coming from Georgia. Got a call this morning saying that they already received em. They ended up finding a set here in Texas.
