No it isn’t.

No, but you can get a fix-a-flat kit.

You want it to last >2 years. Well that drastically depends on the mileage you do per year. If it's 5000 miles a year, then either the PS4S or Conti ECS will have no problems, if it's 15000 miles a year, then I'm not sure you're going to find something that will last that long. You could go with an all-season, but I'm not so sure they'll last much longer than a quality summer tire in a car with 450 hp. You bought a high power performance car, you're going to have to pay to play. Tires are just going to be one of those costs you can't get around.

Tires aren't going to last long since the rims are offset (rear is larger) for traction.
If you want tires to last as long as a Camry, you're going to need to buy rims that are the same size all around. Otherwise be prepared to buy tires every 30k mikes regardless of what tire brand you go with. |

The one thing I think people tend to forget is that performance tires are soft material (usually) so the harder you take off and the harder you turn the faster they wear out. Even if it is not super aggressive.

I just installed Michelin AS3 and LOVE them ....about 1000 installed ( 984 actually) and ride smooth and quiet.
General has a set for about $760 and so does Firestone..... not any cheaper out there...

Michelin AS3 tires are awesome sauce. I will basically only buy them ...not just for my car but my girl's too. You will be extremely hard-pressed to find a better all-around high performance tire that doesn't make compromises that significantly limit all-year (non-snow) use.
The stock runflats are garbage. Both in lifespan and in wet weather traction. Absolute garbage. I dont burn out and my runflats were bald at less than 20k miles. |

You want longer tire life. I wanted Catherine Bach when we were both younger.
Sometimes you just have to settle for reality. |

My LT1 has 245 all seasons on all 4 corners (a free winter setup!). I can compare this to my last 2 fun cars, a 6th gen SS and a ZL1, and I can say on the street for the most part (except traction in first and now chirping 3rd) if I close my eyes i could not tell them apart. Although the LT1 feels slightly more responsive due to lighter weight especially versus the ZL1.
So I agree with the OP. I bought 1LE replica wheels and I want reasonably priced tires to go on these wheels. I doubt I will track this car. But even on the all seasons I bet my LT1 in experienced hands will still be able to run down much more expensive performance cars, at least for a lap or two. That is the baked in goodness in all current Camaros, a world class chassis. Thank you GM for giving us a sports car with a small block Chevy and a manual. And yea, they eat tires.
