Tires are a major component in handling/traction performance. What came out of the collaboration with Goodyear is the summer performance run flat tire we all got/get on the Camaro SS.
I mean that does make a lot of sense. It sure does seem like a lot of guys pull those tires off the car as the very first Mod. Summer only tires would never work for me here in WI. I really want to go to the MRR 1LE wheels, but that is the major thing that stops me is I can not get all season tires that fit those wheels. I won't run a summer only tire.
