Been looking at Camaro SS pull off wheel sets.
Like to stay with factory rims as I don't want to mess with hub-centric rings or special lugnuts. Guaranteed to fit perfect, but might cost me more. |

My winter solution
I installed my winter solution today.
Wheels: MRR M716 (ZL1 1LE-style) front: 19x10, rear 19x11 Tires: Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ (standard, not run-flat); 285/35ZR19 (all 4). These tires and wheels maintain close match to overall diameter of stock setup. Although the tires are the same size at all 4 corners, which was my intent on the staggered width wheels, the are good for wheel widths from 9.5-11 inches wide. So, they can be rotated albeit with dismounting and remounting. I wanted to maintain the stock wheel width setup so as to have options in the future to switch things up with another tire application. Special thanks to Paul of PK Auto Designs for getting this setup to me. |

Thank you sir. I can tell you these Michelin's are not as grippy being all-season tires. Upon my return trip home from Day's Chevrolet, entering I-75 southbound from Glade Rd, my traction control light was going bizzerk up through 75 mph as I hammered on it...lol

Installed my winter wheels and tires (pics later). Expected a code and TPMS warning --- nothing! Didn't reprogram yet but I expected the car to recognize that the original TPMS were gone. Nope.
Any recommendations as to a reprogrammer? I could live with checking my own pressures until March when the OEM tires and wheels go on but would buy one if the price was reasonable. Any suggestions? |

Wow, i just dont see this on my GY Supercar gen3 tires. I daily drive my car all the time and when I get off work in the morning it has been 35° outside several times. I can get moving just fine, sure I cant go more than half throttle otherwise it will spin but the tires warm up in about 5 miles and are good to go then. |

Here's a pic with my new winter wheels installed, along with some little joker who couldn't let me take a picture of the car without him jumping in front . Wheels are MRR 017 20x10 all around with Conti DWS06 285/30. |

I noticed a difference in tire traction around 45/50 degrees. I went on some twisty roads when it was about 45 out one morning and I was sliding when I would normally be planted going faster than I was then. New rule for me, car stays in garage when below 40. Also I don’t drive when it is wet out, car has never seen rain...I don’t even know if my wipers work lol. Not my DD.

Thank you for the replies Mr. W and Rootus.
I drove the car far, far away (5 miles distant and about twenty miles altogether) and restarted several times so, unless GM's TPMS is powered by nuclear fusion, I got far enough away for the computer to sense something might be missing. Thanks for the heads up on what model number to buy for the reprogrammer, I will order today. Cute kid. Lucky to have a car enthusiast for a dad. TJay74, supposedly you are not supposed to let the GYs even have the weight of the car sitting on them if the temp is 20F degrees or they may crack. I'm in a townhouse and even in the Mid-Atlantic morning temps can get in the single digits so I didn't want to risk it. |

If I have the same GM OEM TMPS sensors and I install them in my winter wheels, do I still need the programmer? I was under the impression, reading the programmer literature, that this was an issue for the aftermarket "programmable" sensors that fit a wide range of vehicles?
