Upgrading to 20" Rims soon..P-Zeros - Page 3 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Can't find Nittos or Toyos on Tirerack for 20" wheels, have the 245/275 setup.

Tirerack doesn't sell Nitto tires. If you are going to buy from Tirerack I would suggest the BFG g-force sport comp 2 or an all season tire for a higher tread wear. In a V6 you won't really notice the difference in grip that a low tread wear tire will give you and you will get way better wet performance on a higher tread wear tire.

General G-Max AS-03

I've been very happy with General tires in the past, had them on my BMW 335i, they wear well and work great in the wet.

I think I'm going to look into the General G-MAX AS-03. Thanks for the info guys.

Getting 40k miles out of Pzeros would be magic. Mine MIGHT make it to 25k if I'm lucky.

I upgraded to 20"s on my 1LT and decided to save some money... I bought the Venezia Crusader tires, cost is half of what Pirellis sell for, ZR rated, very sticky, quiet, and great in wet conditions. I was hydroplaning often with the stock 18" tires. I've only had them on for a month or two, I expect them to wear faster than higher quality tires but that's yet to be seen. No other drawbacks so far, great for a daily driver that's not going to be tracked or pushed hard.

The P Zeros are horrible in the cold we get in New England. I am not that confident with them in the rain. I have a V6 and the wear is not bad. I am replacing them at 30K or so (not sure of the exact mileage as I run snows in the winter) and I think I could make it to 40K if I wanted to. I am moving to an all season which is more practical where I live.

My p zero tires lasted about 15,000 miles and still had some wear left maybe 3,000 miles more. They were very noisy so I have replaced them with Continental Extreme Contact summer tires. If you check the wear rating they are classified at quite a higher rate.
I have had them a year and I can tell you the wear is showing well with about 8,000 on the tires and traction dry and wet conditions is very good .

The noise factor is still very acceptable and these tires have the same speed rating as the p zeros. The cost is comparable to the p zeros.

I think these tires may last over +22,000 miles wear and retain traction dry/wet and still not have a lot of noise at this mileage.

I did like the p zeros performance until after 10,000 miles then I started to notice a difference in tires and started not to trust them especially since we do not have a spare tire to fall back if a problem occurs.

I have a V6... the p-zeros have about 20K on them and look like ill get the summer out of them easy. I drive about 500 miles a week for work. So, I should get them to 30K miles easy. Great grip on dry, good in wet also - a couple of wiggles in super hard downpours with hydroplaning, and I cant tell whether its the staggered RS setup up the shitty roads... .but once in a while they track with as mind of their own.

You don't have a spare in the trunk?

Botrod · 04-10-2015, 08:35 PM

I just swapped my Pzeros for General gmax and couldn't believe the difference. The car rides better and has much less tire noise. I never realized how noisy amd rough the Pzeros were on the crappy PA roads.

DP Valentino · 04-10-2015, 11:53 PM

I have BFG Comp 2's and they ride well on the street and in the canyon runs I do here in L.A.
