General G-Max vs. Stock - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

JohnZ · 12-02-2011, 10:31 PM

I am very close to replacing my stock pirellis (P-zero all seasons) and I wanted to know if these would provide more grip than the stock tires? I have a 2LT. I have read alot from the SS guys that say they have just a little bit less than their stock tires, but they have summer tires as stock. I have all-season tires, so i figure that in my case, the general's would still provide more grip. Thoughts?

In the rain the stick and go, my P-Zeros would just spin. It is now below 40 and sometimes below 30 in the mornings now. My P-Zeros would spin and slide all over on dry pavement.

G-Max stick and go. I love them so far.

JOHN, EXACTLY which P-Zeros are on your car? the P-Zero NERO ALL SEASON or the P-Zero NERO ALL SEASON RFT

The UTGQ rating of Pirelli's NERO ALL SEASON tires are 400 A A. Where as the P-Zero NERO ALL SEASON RFT have a UTGQ rating of 400 AA A.

The GENERAL G-MAX's have a UTGQ rating of 480 A A.

So the GENERAL's treadware grade is rated a bit higher, but depending on which Pirelli is actually on your car, the traction is either the same or slightly (one grade) higher.

All they say is Pirelli P-Zero Nero All Season 400 A A

Then with that in mind.......The Generals will have the same traction as the P-Zero's you have now.......BUT they will last longer.

have the gmax, love em and I have been driving them here in 28-50 degree temps and they grip splendidly!!

JohnZ · 12-03-2011, 08:14 PM

If they will have the same traction, but last longer I think I might as well get these. Thoughts?

Hard to argue with a 560 treadwear rating and same price.
