I'd like to hear some feedback on you guys running different sizes from stock as far as the handling goes. I love the way my car handles now it is very snappy to turn in and when the weather is warm 90* turns at 55 are easy as can be and very fun.

Are you running 275 on front and 245 rear? Why not 275 all the way around? Will that not work on our cars? I'm buying new tires this spring and would like to know. I want to run the biggest tire that I can fit with no rubbing issues.

I don't think 275s would work out well on 7" wheels. I like having a staggered setup. GXPs are different from the SSes and Super in the wheel department, 8" and 7". And I dunno what they can run safely.

www.onlinetires.com has the tire for $66 a piece.
I actually just ordered two for my front as I want to stick to the stock size tires. It seems as if Pontiac would have put many different size on and found this to be the best set-up

I ordered those Pirelli's (the same deal) about a week ago and got an email a few days later saying they were on back order for 6 to 8 weeks. I am waiting it out but if someone that orders after me, gets them before me I may be making a call

In 6-8 weeks I wont need the damn things haha. Im just gonna use them for a quick tire to use until I get taxes back. 
Well If I get the email, I will cancel the order and buy some other tire.
Maybe just spring for all four in stock sizes, and pay out my *** but....whatever.
