Recommend tires.. - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

So when I bought my Camaro it had 25K on it. Had a bad tire that I got the dealer to replace after raising a s-storm/ I had to buy the other side though to keep them a matched set (from a different shop). I have the 19 in wheels and it had the Perelli tires so that's what the two new ones where. The other two tires lasted another year or so which was pretty quick I think (10K). So I replaced those two with Continental Extreme Contact and put them on the front. HOLY COW flat spots are real with these tires. I don't think they wear as fast but if the car sits for longer than a day the first few miles would shake the wheel it was that bad. Now those are on the rear and I'm needing to replace the other two perellis. They lasted about 20K, so I'd rather not use them again, but the Continentals are a no go also. SO, are there any all season tires that aren't $300 that you guys can recommend and have used? That don't flat spot so easy and will last longer than 20K. I'm about ready to try a no name cheepo tire off amazon..

Try either of these... general gmax as-05, or the delinte D8. Both are very economical, and I have gotten more than 20k on both. I try lots of tires too see what works for me.

1wild1....get the General GMax's….I've run those for a while and love them, AND they lasted me nearly 50k!

Thanks for the replies. Unfortunately non of those come in the size I need. 245/50zr19 is not very common I guess.

The BFG's are an excellent tire.

I've had them on for 3 years, almost 30k miles.
