Fairly new owner just saying hello!

Hello everyone, got my first Camaro end of August and I'm loving every second of it. Already have 6k miles on it. Already got some mods done and not even close to getting done lol I owned a 11 and a 15 Mustang prior. Only thing I miss is how much roomy the inside was and being able to see out Blind spot on this car sucks, I can't seem to trust the blind spot mirrors.

Any way looking for some advice on new set of tires. I want to replace the summer only tires ASAP with all season tires. I was looking at getting Michelin Pilot A/S 3+... I never owned a this powerful car so wanna make sure i get a good set. It's hard to get traction with 455 horses lol

On a personal note I love beating Corvettes, best feeling in the world

Happy Thanksgiving!

Welcome! Beautiful car! Blind spots are not an issue if you set your mirrors right. Set them so right as the car disappears in back it shows up out your side window. Cars are always within my vision and I'm an old dude.

The Michelin A/S3 are a super nice tire, look into the Continental DWS06 tires. I was gonna use the Michelin A/S tires on our Audi and the reviews said the Conti DWS06 was the better. That's what I went with and hands down, these tires are freaking awesome.

I heard of that tire too and it is cheaper than Michelin. I might have to get them instead you are the second person told me that today. What is the mileage rating on those like the Michelin claims 45k?

I am not 100% for sure, I think they are 45k ish as well. They have built in wear indicators on the tread blocks. Then the "S" from the DWS disappears the tire is only good for Summer and Wet driving, when the "W" disappears it is then only good for summer driving, when the "S" goes it is time to replace the tire.

Mu buddy has them only his 2010 Camaro SS and he really likes them as well.

I had the conti's on my 2012 Camaro and they performed very well. Can't talk to mileage because I had road hazard coverage on them and none of the tires ever made it to a natural end of life. I can say that they performed very very well under all weather conditions. Originally they were winter only tires but I eventually left them on year round.
