This is disheartening the 5th Gen V6 RS came with staggered wheels and high performance summer tires. now its starting to look like the 6th Gen V6 and T4 will not get any thing close to the same treatment as V8.

If you plan on driving in the snow, you should probably get a set of winter tires regardless of the engine.

Sounds like they're a high performance all-season, which is something that I hadn't really heard of until today. I wonder what the performance trade-off will be with the F1 all-seasons vs the summer tires.

Are ultra performance summer tires necessary for the V6? The answer is no.

I would argue they are unnecessary for the SS unless it's being tracked.

Here are my crap pics of the wheels lol.

What's with the red stripe on that black 5 spoke? Haven't seen that before.

The Camaro SS features 20-inch aluminum wheels equipped with Goodyear’s next-generation ultra-high performance summer tire—the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 RunOnFlat®—in size 245/40ZR20 (front) and 275/35ZR20 (rear). The Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 is Goodyear’s premium offering for responsive handling and control in both dry and wet conditions, and will debut on the Camaro SS before its full release in 2016. The tire was extensively tested on the 2016 Camaro SS at a number of world-renowned race tracks, including Virginia International Raceway, Road Atlanta and Germany’s Nürburgring Nordschleife.

Full press release....

So, my 2LS is gonna be worth quite a lot then!

I believe thats a typo.

it should read RS, not LS.

the RS package on the 1LT/2LT upgrades the wheels to the 20" offering.

Both the Eagle F1 Asymmetric All-Season and the Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 feature Goodyear’s RunOnFlat technology, which allows consumers to drive up to 50 miles on a deflating or deflated tire at a top speed of 50 mph.

Goodyear is at the bottom of the list on runflats! Very unreliable.
A better choice, would have been Pirelli P-Zero runflats. Good record for reliability.

Not all of us live in a warm climate. Not all of us race our cars and all weather is what we want. I didn't buy a 5th gen because I could not get hid headlights without summer tires. I bought two genesis coupes and would have most likely bought two Camaro's .

I just put HID headlights in my G8. It cost $60.

The 5th Gen came with staggered tires because it suffered from huge oversteer due to the massive size of the chassis and the weight distribution (it was heavy up front and light in the rear). The staggered wheels and tires allowed the oversteer to be controlled. The 6th gen is much more evenly distributed and the chassis is lighter and smaller, so it does not require a staggered setup to control it. It is a much better platform for performance.

And we can finally ROTATE OUR TIRES NOW!

The runflat summer tires are a huge blow. They cost an arm and a leg and have horrendous performance...because they are SUMMER TIRES. They perform horribly in all but perfect conditions, which don't exist on the street. Summer tires should be an option. This will be another brand new car that requires a $1,000 investment immediately to become drivable.

The ss is staggered 245/275

These are an all new tire... Run flat yes... But don't diss them till you drive the car... You sound like a mustang guy

Who cares how they drive? They'll be $400/ea and perform horrible in the rain and snow. The only entity run flats benefit is GM because they can probably get away with no spare tire/jack/tire inflator kit and save money and advertised weight. It's a scam. The consumer loses. I honestly could not care less about how the car performs at a track. I drive on the street, not a race track. So does virtually everyone else on this site.

If you want drag tires or track tires, buy them separately for yourself. GM should outfit the car with proper street tires from the beginning and not make their intelligent consumers buy proper tires after they just spent $40,000 on a brand new car. You sound like a guy that'll agree with anything GM does just because it's GM
