Exclamation New Tires for my 2SS

I know this thread was probably posted over 1,000 times but before you roast me and publicly destroy me.



I had a quick inquiry that I would like to be specific to me. I recently ran to the threads with the stock tires that came on my 2SS, I was wondering if anyone had a great tire in mind that they would be willing to recommend. But I have a question to those who live in bad winter states, I live in NJ so it's not that bad, but we do get some interesting winters. Should I go for a Summer Tire again or go for an all season. Realistically I would love to buy a summer and winter wheel but I'm not 100% sure I have the cash for it. Basically, im taking all recommendations on tires that look and perform awesomely (R888?) on the SS (possibly winter friendly).

Gotta pay to play. Get two sets of tires if you drive the Camaro with regularity in the winter.

I went with all-season tires, the General G-max AS-05.

2 sets is your best option if you want to stay on the road. My SS is good int he snow as long as it's less than 3 inches. Past that any drifting snow can make things interesting.

Summer tire period on a true performance car. An AS tire will change how it handles and steers. I have Michelin Pilot Sport 4S's waiting to go on mine.

I am leaning toward this tire, myself. As they are not runflats, do you intend to carry a spare and associated tools?

I already carry an electric pump and good quality tire plug set.

I have a set of used Pirelli winter tires for sale for stock wheels. I can do $500 for them and we can meet in the middle. I'm over by allentown.
