Default General GMAX RS ???????????

Hello all:
Sorry but yet another tire question. Was wondering if any of you are running the General GMAX RS tires in the following sizes:
Front 275/40R17
Rear 295/30R18
And if so if there are any concerns with ABS, Traction Control other electronic nannies etc. Any other info would be greatly appreciated as well. Thank you in advance. Obviously I don't want to buy these if there are any issues.

IMO, that's not a good combo because a 275/40/17 @ 25.7" diameter, is taller than a 295/30/18 @ 25" diameter. It's recommended that the rear tires always be the same diameter or preferably taller, to prevent TC/AH issues.

You can get that tire in a 255 40 17 with a rim width range of 8.5 to 10 inches. Overall height of 25 inches.

This is a fantastic option out there. I will keep these in mind for the future.

I have some General GMAX AS-05s on another car we have and I have nothing but high praise for them.

Will the OEM thin spoke rear 18" rims fit on the front with no poke out, or need for spacers?

I have nothing but good things to say about the Generals. Have run them on my daily drivers in the past, never on the vette. Your tire sizes are little off as stated above in previous post.

I have the General G-MAX RS and they have been great so far! Really happy with the cost and performance of the tire for the driving I do.

I've been running 305/35r19 and 275/35r18 on Apex wheels for a year with no issues. The tires seem great to me.

While admittedly not for the Corvette, I just bought another new set of GMAX AS-07s 305-40-22s for my new Exploder ST.

Can't wait to try them out! 199 each delivered not tax free shipping.

Just got a set put on a few days ago, probably about 200 miles on them already. Mounted to to stock , OEM ZO6 Alcoa wheels, no spacers or funny business. Fronts are 255/40R17. Rears are 285/40R18. So far the ride is great and they grip very well on the street
