2015 1SS "The Black Beauty"

I the 1st time owner of a 2015 1ss LS3 with a Diablo tune (93 octane). I Love this car. As I'm in the Northeast region and this Camaro will be my daily driver I was wondering if someone here can give this newbe some good advice on winter tires. The stock tires on the car are summer rated;
Fronts 245/45 zr20 103y
Rears 275/40 zr20 106y.
Thanks guys

Your best bet would be to take a look at the plethora of threads regarding snow tires in the Wheel and Tire thread.

But other than that, welcome to the boards!

CONGRATS on your ride and Welcome to our happy little corner of the net, and to Camaro5. There is a BIG fridge on the back porch with anything you can think of in it...help yourself...of course only take what you can LEGALLY have. Make yourself at home on one of the big fluffy couches, kick your shoes off, put your feet up on one of the tables, yes we are allowed to do that, mom's, dad's, wives', husband's, girlfriend's and boyfriend's here don't care....and take it easy.



oh...btw....every once in a while a food fight breaks out...so you may not want to wear nice clothes here.

Welcome!!

YES!! I knew this is great spot here!!

Thanks for all the great comments guy's. I'm still learning my way around the site and will post a picture of "The Black Beauty" soon as i'm trying to overcome my tech savvy handicap LOL!! As this is my 1st acuall muscle car with a 6 speed manual trans, would anyone have comments on driving in winter snow with those new snow tires I'm fixing to purchase? Northern New Jersey is my personal race track LOL!! PS, the last time I drove a manual prior to my purchase was in high school. Thanks again guys..

Welcome to the forum.

I just picked up a 2001 Mustang for a winter beater here in central MI.
My black '15 1LS will spend the winter in my semi heated garage next to my wife's Miata.

I was tempted to drive it through the winter, but decided not to.
