Lol...GY Eagle F1 have always been good to me. I like them because they are pretty sticky, but are not too sticky and useless like some other tires that offer too much stickiness for a DD. If this was a track car or something along those lines I might change out, but that is not the case....very happy with them!

I got rid of mine. Running summer tires on a DD in this climate is a death wish.
I wish they would have offered an all season run flat. I'm still annoyed that a company from ****ing Detroit somehow forgot winter happens. |

You have to remember the SS is a high performance car with gobs of HP/torque...all seasons come with the V6, not really needed as an option from the factory for the SS in my opinion.

For us poor suckers in the northeast, well, I have come across people who wouldn't even consider buying a car that they would have to replace the tires on because if they didn't, they wouldn't be able to drive it 4-6 months of the year. It could do nothing but increase GM sales to at least offer them as an option. |

Just saying, why handicap your customers or give them any reason not to buy a car when all you have to do is offer the all weather's as an option? They already stock them for the V6's so shouldn't be a big deal. My dealer didn't even want me to test drive the 2SS I bought about a month ago because......he said they are not suppose to let people test drive them with those tires if it is below 40 degrees. Guess what? If he didn't make an exception and let me drive it, I would not have bought it. Even so, everyone isn't willing to buy a $40,000+ car and then run down the street to replace the tires. |

http://jalopnik.com/a-455-horsepower...-wo-1755180954 For snow tires to work well on a RWD drive car, the stars really have to align properly. Just having 50/50 weight split (front/back) and Blizzaks isn't enough. You have to account for the cars power to weight ratio, as well as it's ground clearance. I've seen Miatas with Blizzaks do great even though they're light cars, but it's because they have no torque. Powerful sports cars just aren't designed for snow. Snow tires will help, but in real snow, don't even bother.

I don't check the stars before driving them in snow, they work fine Hence the "Ice/Snow" mode that GM built into the car for this very reason... |

Weather is getting much better here and in a month or two, road courses are going to be opening up which I plan on hitting up. Never been the kind of guy that wanted to do 1/4 but road course peaks my interest! |
