Chicago Tommy thank you for that information on heat. I am in NY so that should only be a 6 months of the year issue.
This is my daily driver so I think that I will keep them until they wear out or I have an issue as you suggestted Wiskeyfed.
I have another question - can these tires be plugged. Over the years I have driven over my share of nails. Usually its a $20 repair for the remaining life of the tire. For some reason I thought that I heard one nail hole and these become garbage. Is that right?
Guys, thank you so much for this info. I am really enjoying being back in a Camaro after 25 years and I am really enjoying this forum!

You can patch them as long as it's an inch or so away from the sidewalls is what I've been told but i doubt I'd trust a patch on these just get rid of them when the time comes.
