Need help finding affordable all-season tires
Hey guys, so I need some help finding some affordable all-season tires. I'm currently running the ZL1 replica wheels with the original Perelli P-Zero summer tires, stock sizes and everything. Can anybody point me in the right direction? I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thanks!! |

go with some Continental DWS tire. These things are awesome, I run them in the winter, stock sizes. You will see a lot of people run these all the time on their DD's.
At the same time, not sure what is "affordable" vs "won't get me killed on a wet road" means...lol. and they look good on CGM.. ;D |

General G-max AS-03 run around $145 and $180 on the staggered fitment from amazon. Dilente D8 Dessert storm - about the same price on amazon. I have driven both of these tires in freezing conditions in S.W. Colorado, the g-max through 4" of snow with great results and the Delinte in 2". another plus is I have gotten over 20k out of the rears on both tires...I have a heavy foot..lol |

General GMax AS-03. I have had them for 2 years and they are very good and not very expensive.

See this thread for opinions on the BFG's. Good tire for the money.

I can attest to that! I have the Generals on my Camaro and the BFG's on my Regal GS.

Another recommendation for the General GMax AS-03's. In January I will have had them two years. I just had all 4 wheels off to do some brake upgrades so I was able to visually inspect them thoroughly. The fronts have plenty of tread left to the point that they don't look like they have many miles on them at all. The rears do show quite a bit more wear but I believe that is normal with staggered fitment tires. So it looks like I'll be getting two sets of rears for every one set of fronts.
Treadlife Warranty: 6 Years / 40,000 Miles (1) Half mileage for rear if different size than front

I have only had my Conti DSW's on for a week, (the new tire color stripes are completely worn off now) but have drove some black ice and wet roads and a lot of cold dry driving, and I am really impressed. Although noticeably not as sticky as the P Zero's, they are surprisingly confident tires so far.
