BF Goodrich Gforce availbility in 245/45ZR20
Well I decided to go with the Gforce..
Went through a dealership since they price matched Tirerack, they said after they had my Camaro up on the lift that they had the size for the rear in stock but would not be able to get the front's for a couple days and would knock off a few bucks for my troubles. Fast forward almost 2 weeks later and they still can't get them in stock. I can't wait anymore, either my Camaro is going to sit parked or I need to find someplace that actually has them in stock (or maybe just go with another brand on the front) Can anyone help me out with either some place that has them in stock that can ship, or reccomend me a different brand/model of tire that would work well on the front wheels? |

Why not put the Pirelli P-Zero up front? Tire rack has them for around $200

You're not talking mixing tires right? Please don't!

I just bought two fronts yesterday from discount tires for 350 out the door. I'm having them installed by some people that won't fubar them up. I should have bought the 275 too since they are offering a 80 rebate for a set of four. That's like 700 bucks for four tires!

Try the Cooper Zeon RS3. 300 treadwear rating. Should last longer than the Pirellis.

Its extremely common to mix tires (different front and rear tires). As long as you don't mix winter tires with summer tires or something similar. Also if you have a balanced setup (same size front and rear tires), then it would be advisible to run the same tires so you can rotate them. But lots and lots of guys (especially cars running a staggered setup) run wider and sticker tires out back with something different up front. I've been doing it for about 20 years on my cars. |
