This is why they should have offered all season tires as an option. Summer only tires have no use to me here in North Dakota. Just a small annoyance buying a new vehicle.

Agree! As an option, that would benefit a lot of people.

No offense to anyone, but if you buying a high HP sports car, don't expect a company like GM to offer all season tires on that car, to was never designed to drive in winter conditions. If we had more than 1 or 2 small ice/snow events here in NC I would probably have a 3rd vehicle in my garage...just my opinion looking at GM's viewpoint.

Eh, I disagree. They added a heated steering wheel, carried over the heated seats, and have a mode dedicated for snow/ice that changes the throttle sensitivity. It's a car, it can be driven on public roads all seasons. This car was made to be driven, if I could afford a second vehicle, I'd love to park my Camaro in this crap weather. However if I had to choose to have one vehicle, you're damn right I'd choose a Camaro every time.

It would have been nice to have a more practical tire option that will last longer than 15,000 miles. I totally understand it boils down to cost (more options to choose I'm sure is more expensive to GM's bottom dollar) and providing the best performance out of the box to compete with other auto manufactures. I get it.

But even with those heated items and extra mode, it still is a high HP sports car, not designed to be driven in snow and extreme cold on a regular basis. If I didn't have a 2nd vehicle to drive in icy and the occassional snowy condition or the few times when it gets below 20 degrees here in NC, I wouldn't have bought my SS...just my opinion on the whole situation.

So, the 2016 2SS came with Goodyear EAGLE F1 ASYMMETRIC 3 RUNONFLAT tires. Those are certainly summer, but do they develop the cracks if driven in the cold?

In another thread, I thought I saw people claiming those would not get the cracks, but I have no idea if that is correct.

avalonandl · 12-22-2016, 11:47 AM

Thats why I plan to get A/S to replace the Goodcrap Runflats......

So, if my garage is 48 degrees and it's 36 degrees outside, would it be considered 'okay' to drive my car around? My thought would be the tires start out at 48, and then stay relatively warm from being driven around.

I have my stock tires mounted currently (I live in CO) and they have not developed any cracks. I leave my Supercar G2 tires in the garage though. They don't work if it is less than 50 degrees, as I imagine the Supercar 3 will be the same way. As for All Seasons I believe GM was trying to keep run flats for the 20s, and I don't know of any all seasons in that size that are RFT.

No, you're f'd. As soon as you drive on them, they will explode.

They guy asked an honest question and at least deserved a honest answer. Not everything here has to be sarcastic.
