The summer version of that tire isn't very good, so I probably wouldn't put too much stock in the All season version either.

The summer version is super loud on the street and feathers very badly if you do a lot of cornering.

I have had no issue with the summer version of these tires. They make less noise and ride smoother than my old Pirellis did. They run slightly wider than stock Pirellis though so the grooves in the street pull my car around a lot more now.

No complaints with my summer comp-2, I will never run a another all season though. Right tire for the right situation. "Jack of all trades, good at none"

Don't count out this new tire. We will test it soon. It should prove to be very competitive and the price on these are very good.

At $704 plus shipping...I can guarantee I will at least try them out when I need new tires.

I never understood that...seems every time I check for some specific tire I need they are always on backorder you would think the manufacturers would actually produce enough to meet the demand. I guess they are not in the business of making money.

Great tires, although not for the CAMARO Gen 5

These are the first set with the COMP-2 rubber formula as it became available recently.

If you care to have a look at My ALBUMS or My GARAGE here in this forum you will find a listing of all the mods made to this vehicle. Not too shabby; I think; I mostly like the cornering abilities of it as you can see from all the suspension/stability , mods I made.

These tires are fantastic for the FIREBIRD but I will never place them in my CAMARO. In fact right now I'm searching for tires and becoming a bit desperate as I have not been able to find top "Max Performance Summer" tires in the past 60 days.
Even so, I will not buy a set of these for the CAMARO as I think they will not handle well the 420 lb/ft of torque the engine churns out.

As another member already pointed out, the corners of this tire tend to wear rather fast and I strongly suspect the higher torque of the CAMARO will destroy them even faster.

Also the initial bite in standing starts will get eaten fast by the powerful LS3 so I will recommend you search a bit more, unless you really drive at a relaxed pace with just an occasional burst of power lunches few and far in between.

That's my two cents. Great tire but not for this application I believe.

Safe driving!!
