If you live near twisty roads, I would just save up some money to buy a second set of wheels and tires. Not having the stock goodyears changes the feel of the car in the twisty’s.

I am new this forum. About a month ago I purchased a manual Shadow Gray 2019 2SS vert moderately modified (ARH headers,CAI, Anderson CF hood, etc.) with only 3,200 miles. I have been and still am on several other Forums having owned numerous cars. I recently sold my Porsche Macan S because I really wanted a moderately priced, low maintenance cost, 6 speed sport/muscle car. I currently own a mint Gen 1 Raptor and a 911.2 911 Targa GTS PDK.

With regard to my Camaro (and this thread), I found the stock tires a bit "floaty" at higher speeds- could have been the colder weather. Anyhow, with the "Oregon Road" trails here on Long Island one of my rear tires developed a small bubble. Rather than double down on the stock tires, I purchased a set of Michelin A/S 3+ from Costco as they have a $150 off sale at the moment, and am awaiting installation. I will probably sell the remaining three at some point.

I am in the market for new SC3's. I would buy them off you if we can figure out shipping since I'm in WA state

Don't buy tires!!!!! You're going to love the summer only!!!

I was in the same boat as you and was nervous about the summer only's and went ahead and bought the all-season continentals. Welp... now I have a set of all-season continental sitting in my garage and I don't want them

While yes, if you're driving daily, ok maybe you might be better off with the continental all-seasons (I know a girl who has a set for sale, but she's in Jersey ) But, I've driven my car in the rain, under 40* and all is fine. Ya just gotta know your conditions and take it easy in the non-preferable ones. I thought I'd be drving my car more, but it's really become a sunny day, over 40* car.

My 2 cents from someone who jumped the gun before even getting the car

I'm sure those Contis wouldn't be difficult to sell, even their all-seasons are good tires.

I keep hearing about how fast the stock runflats wear out. Does that apply to the 20" runflats they put on the V6 RS's?
I have 9k miles and hadn't even thought about looking at the tires yet.

Switched to the Powerstop Z26's to eliminate the awful dust the Brembos produce!

That's the plan. I'm thinking someone who tracks will find it more useful than me just using it as a DD.

Oh, ok. Decisions, decisions .

Oh, ok. Interesting you were able to get that much life out of them without rotation.

Unfortunately only looking at local options for now as I don't want to deal with shipping. But will let you know if anything changes.

That's good to know. So far I have seen most who have tried the Conti's whether summer or all-season have not been disappointed with them.

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.

On Discount's website, I saw that the original EC Sport is only about a $100 more than the DWS06+. I am not sure if Conti still stocks them. Original EC Sport is what I am leaning more towards right now due to the price. I will check with the Discount store.

You mentioned you were very happy with the DWS06+ and it was great in the rain. Do you think the EC Sport will be able to handle the rain just as well?

Not worried about the cold as I will drive my truck if it gets too chilly.

No twisty roads. Just a decent amount of hills and valleys .

Oh, ok. Didn't see the A/S 3+ come up as an option for the SS 1LE during my search.

Hahaha, thanks for the take. Interesting because from what I have seen so far, most in this forum that have tried the all-seasons ended up liking them.

What did you not like about the all-season Conti's?

[mikem2104]

I would not rush to change the stock tires. I’m finally putting a new set of Goodyears SC3s on, i made it over 15k miles on the original set. Rears still have life, fronts not so much. Depending how you drive, they last A LOT longer than 7k miles.

The PS4S are way more comfortable, but dont have the same grip. I decided to stick with the SC3 because my 1le is not my daily / comfort vehicle.

No reason to toss out a new set.

People saying “don’t put all seasons on the 1LE” are short sighted. It gets cold in many areas and the Conti DWS06+ indeed have significantly more traction in cool and cold weather. So, in reality; it’s more an injustice to drive in ultra high perf summer tires such as the OEM supercar3 tires in cold weather. Here in Idaho I have more traction with the Conti all seasons on my ZL1 than the OEM tires in mornings 9 months out of the year and 7 months 24/7.

Edited to add: and the difference between the conti A/s for daily driving and occasional backroad driving and the SC3 in warm/hot weather isn’t nearly as drastic as the difference between them in cold weather. Gain a ton in the winter, lose a little in the summer.

OP is in Austin, TX.

The Michelin PS4S is drivable all the way down to 36-38 degrees, the also recommended summer Contis are very likely similar, so he needs to refrain from driving on these summer tires a few weeks each year, if that. IMO the winter gain is negligible and the summer loss is dominant in this specific case.

The PS4S is unmatched when you consider all surfaces and conditions above 40F

I am sure this has been asked many times over the years but please bear with me. I might explore tracking in the future but for now, I don’t plan on it. For those who don’t track or intend to track your vehicle, how did you proceed with the factory Goodyears that come on the 1LE?

I have come to realize these tires only last about 7k miles and are terrible in the rain and hydroplane badly. It rains a fair amount here. Below are the paths I am currently exploring.

Drive the stock tires until bald (roughly 7k miles) and then buy different tires. I am worried about performance in rain with this option from what I have seen people say on the forum.

Sell the stock tires to offset cost of new tires. Car currently has less than 100 miles. For the new tires, I am looking at the Conti Extreme Contact DWS 06+ all seasons ($1282) and the Extreme Contact Sport 02 summer ($1756) tires. I have read PS4S is the best but I don’t exactly want to pay the Michelin tax just yet. To go with this option, I will need to be able to sell the stock tires. Is there any market for these and how much could I realistically get for them?

Appreciate any input. Thanks.

Im in Alaska. All seasons are idiotic on a car like this in summer.
