New 2SS
After much thought on Vette vs Camaro I decided on the SS to replace my Acura TSX for my retirement gift to me
 I took delivery of it yesterday. Awesome white with black stripes, reminds me of my 69 z28 I had back in the day. the C7 Vette just didn't fit me like my 2010 C6 did. The SS is perfect. My question now is what to do about these Goodyear run flats for the 3-4 months of cold rainy weather we get here in the Pacific Northwest. Run them and be careful, swap them out completely or change a wheel/tire combo every winter? I ended up with good all weathers on the TSX which worked well, I really want to drive this car as my DD all yearAny suggestions will be welcome Thanks |

Congratulations!!! Pictures??
I would go with a different wheel and tire setup for those months, but I drive the car pretty hard and it's dry here most of the time. If your going to just be doing normal driving most of the time, and have a fair amount of rainy days the rest of the year also then a good all season would fit the bill better. With all the people on here changing wheels you could probably pick up a set of OE wheels for a good price. Of course aftermarket wheels are always an option.

I have the same situation. Camaro is my daily driver (unless I want to putt around in our stealth car - 2003 Toyota Corolla
 ) At least 3 months of cold, damp and sometimes snowy weather. I plan to get new wheels and all season tires this fall. Normal setup so the tires can be rotated.

Right on! You get pics?
For where you are, you should have 2 sets and just swap them out. You should be able to get decent money for your RF'S with them being new and you could get a year round tire but for a North West DD car a dedicated winter tire is probably a good idea.

Mine is a daily driver too and I have to deal with snow. I bought a second set of matching rims so I could go with true snow tires and look the same all the time. That frees me to run agressive summer tires on the other set of rims. It's a big expense on the front end but your tires last a long time. Plus you have the optimum rubber for whatever's season. I did this with my GTO also.
