Having said all that I do totally agree that there should be at least 2 options for the SS. One all season and one summer. While this tire may perform just fine in the rain it has no buisness being in any kind of snow or ice and will lose a little dry/wet pavement grip in the cold (nothing like a extreme max effort summer tire though). The fact that its a run flat sucks big time as well. They are expensive, heavy, and ride like sh!t vs the same tire in a non run flat. I think Ford and Dodge give more than 2 tire options so no idea why GM continues to only give one wheel/tire option. I personally think there should be 3 options. 1 all season, 1 mid level summer(like this one) and 1 max level summer like a GY Eagle F1 Supercar/Bridgestone Potenza RE11/BFG Rival ect. I also think you should have a choice between run flats and a spare but that's just me. In all honesty tires and a spare will be easy to remedy. If having to replace the tires and get a spare is the least I have to do then I'm okay with that. It could be a lot worse.

I was expecting squared 285's like on the 1LE and to go with Michelin PSS instead. But I guess GM knows their game.

1. The staggered setup front/back. How would they know which spare to put in there. This said... 2. The only "spare tire" option would be a donut that should only be used long enough (at 50 mph max speed) to get you to the first tire repair place you see. Then, of course, they would have to add a jack. 3. I couldn't find the specific tire mentioned in the graphic either (F1 3 EMT) but the F1 Eagles start at $355 MSRP. That really sucks! I'm guessing the big ol' Run On Flat fatties that come on the SS will run about $2,000 for a set of four. That's just a ridiculous baseline. And unless they have changed the technology compared to the run-flats used on modern military vehicles, once they "go flat", they cannot be repaired - they have to be replaced. Sucks. GM should offer a "Square Setup" option on these new cars.

I'm sure I read somewhere the ATS had no jack points on the car. Perhaps the new Camaro is the same. Why no jack points, makes no sense to me???

It had better have jack points....else I'll be using whatever point I feel works for jacking it up lol. I didn't buy a 2 ton jack for nothing.

Unless it comes with lifetime tires & brakes, every Camaro is still going to need to be jacked up from time to time.

I assumed OP was referring to the jack points below the rockers. Of course there are jack/lift points under the frame/suspension, just like now.

Michelin's Pilot Super Sport will be a much better tire option or the Bridgestone Potenza Re11

Wait, so the LT won't receive a staggered set up if you get the RS package?

I just checked the Goodyear web site for details on the Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 RunOnFlat. I am disappointed that they don't even list the tire on their web site yet. I know that it will be a few more months before the new cars are delivered to owners but you would think they would have the information available now that Chevy is taking orders for the cars. Hopefully Goodyear will have the tires available in their outlets when the cars start shipping. It would be a pain if your only source of tires is a dealership if you are one of the unlucky few to have a tire problem with the new car.
