Winter tires from tire rack

Bob RS · 10-31-2019, 06:57 PM

I just got my rim and tires in from tire rack. Took the good advice and made sure all 4 corners are cover with Blizzak tires. Waiting for one key element to come in so I can jack the car up and put them on. But I'm I correct that the 6th gen Camaro does not have stud clips? [ATTACH]1009147[/ATTACH]

That's funny^^^

Honestly, they are a clip put on one of the lug studs of each wheel to hold the rotors in place during manufacturing. They are not need after production and actually can become a problem. They often keep aftermarket wheels from seating properly.

ok ya i remember seeing the washer kind. i figured thats what you were taking about just never heard it called a stud clip befor. GM uses a screw now. i like the screw.

The screw that keeps the rotor flush?

4 BLIZZAKS! That thing will seem like 4 wheel drive!

Yes, and I was surprised how easily that screw came out after 80K+ miles on my 2011. Getting the rotors off was not so easy. But a couple of taps with a 16lb sledge took care of it. The brakes actually did not need replacing, but I was getting a pulsation on braking from rotor warp.

I have blizzak tires too on 18" wheels. What's the tire pressure are you guys running?

How do you accommodate for 4 different tpms sensors in those winter tires?

Like initializing the tpms sensors in the winter wheels?

Bob RS · 11-06-2019, 07:44 PM

Tire Rack install tpms sensors also into the new rims I have a tpms GM relearn tool so when all you have to do is go to your settings and find your tire pressure leave it there and press ( SEL) it will set off tire pressure relearn then you start with the left front then right front then right rear and finally left rear and the car horn will sound off 2 times telling you the system has relearn the new tpms.

Those wheels look great! I wish I'd gotten 19" instead of 18", but at the time the 18" were alot cheaper.
