My main problem with the Contis is they don't make them in the sizes I want... it is offered in ZL1 1LE sizes for its 19" wheels, but the 20" selection is lacking.

Yeah, this part has a million fitments, including the Impala (lower down the list, my screen doesn't fit them all, heh). Good luck and keep us posted :happy0180:

To come back to the OP, most recently it's been 80% sport, 10% track and 10% tour for me in general. I keep driving mode details on "Auto", so my steering, exhaust and suspension follow mode changes....

OP says the part comes black (primed) from the factory, which online catalogs confirm. Unless someone paints one for you or ebay or a junkyard helps you out, part 13587840 is what you need, then...

By the way, TireRack has been very enthusiastic recently about the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 as well as the Kumho Ecsta Sport S, these are newer contenders that may be worth a look as well.

Feeling like a broken record, but I have to point out that there is the Nitto 555 G2 and the Nitto 555 R2 (or RII as the manufacturer dubbed it), and the difference between them is night and day.

Captain, we need more people like you in the great state of Tennessee. Beautiful photos, and if you like this sort of view, you'd feel right at home near the Smokies.

It's a perfect Jekyll and Hyde car, I absolutely love it, too, it's fun even when not standing on the skinny pedal, then it roars up with a thunder when I do.

Nitto 555 RII or 555 G2? There's no way this drag radial doesn't hook properly at stock or thereabouts power level. Since the RII doesn't even come in the 315/30/20 size, I think you have the G2 and...

At one point GM had a window sticker web service for 2020+ Camaros, not sure if it's still up, but since yours is a 2016, https://monroneylabels.com/ would be an option (not free, unfortunately).
