I have the stock P'Z right now but they getting bad quit.

I did some reading and I keep hearing about the General GMAX AS-03 and how great they are.

From what i've read seems like everyone running the 275/40/20 on all four corners. I have a 2010 2LR/RS abd i believe the rims are also staggered.

WOuld i still be able to run the 275/40/20 on all corners, Note my car is lowered with eibachs if that matters

Everyone that is running 275/40/20's on all corners is running 20x9 rears on all four corners as well. They will work with the Eibach lowered springs...

Personally I like Nitto Invo's for street, never have tried the General's, but agree I have seen many posts from people who really like them...

Well hate to say this but the Generals get noisey. I can not stand the noise on the fronts and replaced the rears with BF Goodrich Comp-2's. So at least the rear end got quiet. But my car will be traded in next week for a 2013 SS so I will start over with tires. But BF Goodrich's will go on when the P-Zero's are gone.

Wow, mine killed all the noise I heard with the Pirelli's. I love the Generals, they are an all around solid tire. I run 20x8.5's in the front and 20x10's in the back. I stuck with the factory tire sizes. I didn't see any reason in changing.

I've heard the Generals can be noisey. It's not fair comparing them to the PZero's since they are noisey as hell. Damn near anything is an improvement over them. I'm running the Continentals and have been happy so far. They're fairly quiet. I'm running 255's on the front and 295's on the rear. A tad more sidewall softens the ride and the added width looks awesome. These sizes fit fine with my Pfadt 1.25in drop.

SoCal Swagger, seeing as how you too have a 2LT/RS you will really love the Generals AS-03's, they will certainly last a lot longer and are still rated for the same speeds. I am running a Square set up (20 x 9's and 275/40's on all 4 corners) and have had them on for roughly 8000 miles and I love them, even made some long cross contry trips on tehm too (CFest III). As far as road noise, I don't hear it at all.

(Generals)I have them on my fronts, and I just ordered my rears from tire rack 5 minutes ago... They are a great tire to go with. Pricing was 450 with shipping to PA.. Can't wait to have them put on... I'm done with the Pzeros.
