LOL, i have the LT1 and immediately put sticky summers on 285/305 setup. Those 245 run flats are bubbkiss. I'm curious why the OP wants all seasons. I don't find it that much trouble swapping wheels twice a year, it's worth the summer performance to me!
And i live in Minnesota, so i have to get the timing just right around snow.

I agree with going that route. The LT1 is a fine ride.
I just think the 1LE option with all seasons seems off.

Also, tire life on an LT1 on 245's is not a thing!!! tire death more like.

I have a coworker who runs Continental DWS-06 on his SS. He swears by them. I ran BFGoodrich Comp-2 A/S on my SS and loved them. I had no traction issues in rain or light snow.

Continental DWS 06 have been updated now called Continental DWS 06 Plus.
Great tire on my Camaro SS 505 RWHP also.

I replaced the stock summer-only runflats on my 2SS Convertible with Continental ExtremeContact DWS06+ before taking delivery. Many people may feel a summer-only tire would work fine on a Convertible, but I'm aiming to use the vehicle 8-9 months out of the year, and enjoy the open air a little longer than I can on my Harley. I won't hesitate to take it to work on a 30* morning when it's going to be 50*+ by lunch time.

I had looked at, read reviews/ratings on TireRack, etc. for the comparable options, below, and felt the Conti was the best option for what I was looking for - good in the cold (living in MN), good in the rain, good in dry, good comfort, and relatively quiet. I will rarely if ever track the vehicle, and was just looking for a very good dependable cruising tire that will handle excellently when I get into the twisties.

Tires I considered in addition to the Continental DWS06+
Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4
Goodyear Eagle Exhilarate
Pirelli P Zero All Season Plus
BF Goodrich G-Force Comp-2 A/S Plus

I have the General GMAX-AS 05. 275/35R20 square setup. All season tire. Currently have 47,000 miles on them and still going strong.

I love these tires on my SS, although they are the more recent Comp-2 Plus version (slight change in compound, same structure).

OP lives in "United States," so not exactly helpful for determining utility of summer vs all-season compounds.

Why get the SS 1LE option if you're not going to push it?

After doing a little thinking I’ve decided I will probably go with a new set of wheels that will have the all seasons on them and just switch the summer on in summer time or whenever it’s warm enough

ALC, no all-season will ever have anything close to the grip of the OE Goodyears. You can certainly go the route of getting a separate set of wheels for winter. They don't even have to be 1LE-sized wheels: regular SS wheels, LT1 wheels, or even base 18x8.5 wheels will suffice. If you're really in a heavy winter area, consider some winter-rated tires instead of true all-seasons.

Have to agree. If it's in the budget, dedicated summer/winter tires are the way to go.
I ran Pirelli Sottozero 3 winter tires on my Mustang and Challenger through a few winters and was able to drive in several inches of snow without issue on my 25 mile drive to the office, and being winter tires, there are no traction worries on those really cold 0 degree mornings when the roads are clear. By no issue, I mean no slipping when starting from a stop even on an incline on snow and ice covered roads. No slipping or sliding when coming to a stop. I am not saying I was blasting down the highway at full throttle on icy, snow covered roads or driving even slightly aggressively on bad roads.

When I'm back in a Camaro in a year or so I'll be running a dedicated winter/summer setup.

I like using the Tire Rack decision guide. It lets you set what characteristics are more important to you in order to make a decision: Noise, Wet Traction, Dry Traction, Wear and spits out the data based on your priorities. https://www.tirerack.com/content/tir...ion_guide.html

All these years and I never even found that decision guide... thanks for the tip

Wait, but I heard Camaro is not a winter car, you need a truck

Doing the same. Winter tires when I know there is high chance of snow (December - March in Detroit). Summer tires are good below freezing if it's dry. Of course, they will lose grip vs high temp, but braking distance is still better than winter tire. It's because winter tires are soft and "slotted", so they can grab into snow, making them much much better on snow, but slightly worse on dry vs summer tire. There are YT videos proving that. But general rule is to run winter tires below certain temperature - somewhere around 45F.
I never had "good all season tire". The once I was forced to use (which came with a car) was bad an any "season". Even cheap summer tires like Atturo AZ850 decimate Pirelli P Zero Nero on a dry warm day.
