I got 13k of daily driving out of the stock GY's before they really started to slip in the rain. I'm in Florida and it can rain like mad here. Went to a set of Nitto's and the car never really felt as stable. I'm now running a set of 19 in Apex SM-10's on Firestones that I'm happy with. I'd say use them up or keep them as track only set.

Two things you shouldn't do, though: runflat or all-season tires. This is a 1LE, give it the respect it deserves. Congratulations on your new Camaro, by the way, you have chosen very well

Hahaha, true that. Thanks.

On a cold wet day with OEM tires you will get dragged by Volvo station wagons while the OEM bricks sit and spin searching for traction. I’ve put over 60,000 miles on my 1LE in all kinds of weather. I’ve gone through three sets of OEM tires and am currently riding on Conti’s.

Are you currently riding the all season Conti?

Now when i was in Florida and the water had no where to go and it downpoured... yess a little hydroplaning happened. I mean i had to drop down to 20mph on the highway. There was nothing i could do to keep the car from doing that, so that sucked and was the worst part of the driving. But after putting 2.4kmiles on the car in a week. I full understand it and have no issues with the stock tires.

I will be switching them out once they are worn out though for something a little more weather friendly but i have no issues with the stocks until they need replacing.

I think ill be going Conti once i need to.

Do you think you will be going all season or summer Conti once ready?

Honestly I plan to keep my stock tires until they're do to be replaced. I may not like them, but I figure why not keep them on until I burn them up?

I really don't believe that a tire produced today will only last for 7K miles unless they're abused.

I hope I can get a buyer for them. If not, I will just drive till bald and replace. This is my second vehicle so I have something else to drive in the cold months. My main concern was hydroplaning from flash flooding which sometimes happens here.

I figured since I wont be tracking the car, someone who tracks could probably benefit if they were planning on buying a new set. I will give the classifieds a try.

That's good to know. It will probably take me 2 years to get to 10k. The fronts wore out faster than the rears?

When I bought my low mileage used 2017 ZL1 back in 2019 with 425 miles I got around 12,000 miles out of the OEM GYs and had them replaced with another set. Like others have noted don’t try and set a land speed record when driving in wet conditions or cold weather. I drive my ZL1 in cold weather but take it easy until the tires get heat in them and grip better.

Looks like you also got decent miles out of them. How often did you rotate them?

Wow. 13k is the most I have seen so far.

Selling them to someone who tracks regularly will probably work, especially since they're essentially new. Heck, I sold my USED Brembo pads with about 2000 miles on them to someone here who goes through pads tracking.
Switched to the Powerstop Z26's to eliminate the awful dust the Brembos produce!

I have done a ton of research on this and am also picking up my 23 2SS 1LE up on Monday so I will chime in. You probably have your answer anyway, but I will recommend a few tires based on your conditions.

The stock Goodyears are fine to drive until they run out of life, but just be careful in the cold and rain. They are livable but are certainly not as good as other options so don't get over confident. On my current Camaro switching from the stock Goodyear run flats to Conti DWS06+ made a world of difference in the rain.

If you don't plan to push the car and just want the best mileage you can get, AND/OR have to worry about sustained cold conditions, the DWS06+ will be a great option for you.

If you want a tire with decent mileage but can also handle most of what you can throw at it, ExtremeContact Sport (original or 02) and PS4S are what you should be looking at. Personally I am going with EC Sport. The PS4S are considered the best but only marginally so over the Sport, and I can't justify the the price difference (in my area at least)

If you want to track the car, you may want to consider using the Goodyears as a track tire and swapping them with one of the above options when you are done.

I didn’t rotate them. Just kept them aired up and front and rear alignment checked for excessive tire wear which the car didn’t have.

OP. I'd buy your stock tires , if the price is right, but I live in Maine so I'd need them shipped. I'm at 9k on mine now and planned to go with Conti ECS next as I heard those can last up to 25k miles.

[LT4Greg]

The Continental Extreme Contact Sports are very good summer tires and a little cheaper than the Michelins. I had a set on my 2016 2SS for 6 months before I traded for the ZL1 and had no issues with them and they drove and rode so much better than the GY run flat tires which aren’t standard equipment on the SS 1LE option.
