I should probably change all 4 tires if I go with different compounds; the all-seasons on the LT-1 do pretty much suck, and I live in SoCal so summer-only is the way to go.

JBinSD, my Camaro is not a daily driver, so the notably reduced tread life of the 555R2s versus more normal street tires is not an issue for me. But, yes, if this was my daily driver, I would be concerned about tread life, and would probably have gone to wider rear wheels and tires with longer tread life AND also the ability to handle cold temperatures (We get to minus 25F here in the winter! I don't want to drive the Camaro on snowy and salt laden roads, so it sees very few miles in the winter and only on roads that are free of any salt or moisture ).
