But Discount Tire had a $100 rebate offer if you bought 4 tires. So I got 275-30-20 and 255-35-20s for $800 total. That offer ended May 13th so I jumped on that deal.

Yes. they are installed properly. Like I've said, they're quiet for the price range, but they don't come close to better tires. By now, the tires are about a year old. I am extremely happy with how long the tires are holding up and how well they perform, especially for how much they cost.

That's for purchases after May 13th. I bought mine before to get the $100 instant rebate deal

What other tires are comparable to these? I have to get new tires within like the next week or so. I live in SoCal so no point in getting anything, but summer tires. Was thinking about Hankook V12s, but idk

Bridgestone RE760, Dunlop Direzza DZ101, BF Goodrich KDW2, Goodyear Eagle GT

If you are looking for just performance on a budget, I, along with many others would suggest the KDW2s. If you want comfort without losing too much performance, I would suggest the RE760s. If you want a good all around alternative, I would say the Direzzas and the Eagles are pretty similar to the G-Max AS-03

I just put on a set of the G-MAX tires and like them better than my old Avons. Very nice tire for the price.

Just put them on. They are a touch louder than the Firehawk 18s I had on there before. Nothing to get excited about but they are a touch louder.

I have had these on my G35S for about a year now...after 10k miles they started getting loud, at 20k they are unbearably loud and I am replacing them.

I have staggered fitment and the tires are directional thefore no rotating for me; that may have something to do with it but I have never experience tires this loud before and my last tires were falkens and they didn't get that loud.
