Buy New PZero's from Chevy Dealer? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

GrandAmGT · 04-10-2016, 09:30 AM

So yesterday, the DIC on my car told me my rear driver's side tire was at 12 psi. I inflated it to the proper psi of 35 + or -. Several hours later the DIC tells me that tire is now at 23 psi which has to indicate a leak. If the tire can't be patched I'm going to have to purchase a new one (s). The Chevrolet dealership I bought it from is a 7 minute walk from my house so for convenience I will take it there.

My car fits the 19 inch PZero that comes on a 1LT. I checked the dealership's tire prices online and to my shock I can buy oem replacements for $145.00 each, which was the Internet price. The non Internet price was $186.00, which was still a shock. When I priced these tires several months ago at other retailers, I thought I recalled them being 250.00 each. Is this too good to be true? Have others seen competitive oem tire prices from dealers? Thanks in advance.

I agree those prices seem lower than a few months ago.
one thing to check is manufacturing date. If over one year give/take it will be discounted to move it out.

still running stock Pzero on mine. reading all these "there are better tires" and keep wondering what it is you guys are talking about specifically. what makes another tire better?

OP has 19" tires. They're an all-season.

The RS package cars or the SS comes with the 20" PZeros which are summer only.

those tires suck i hated my that was the first thing i did was burn them glad some of you like them..if you gave them to me for free i still would not take them good luck OP

I would not replace all 4 tires if only one tire was giving me a problem. If they are close to replacing all of them, then sure I would. I think OP is just looking to do one, due to the leak and hopefully it can be patched. IMO Pzero are ok, but would not buy them as a replacement.

At no point did you answer the question I posed. Reading comprehension is your friend! Your local community college should offer adult education classes to help you with that. Good luck, ELIC1.

Thanks for the feedback. I would just replace the one needed, though I've heard you should replace both rears, for example, if only one needs replacing since the tread would be uneven if I got just one new tire. There's still plenty of tread on all four since my car only has 26,000 miles on it.

Anything in particular you don't like? I have had pretty good luck with mine 275 in front 315 in rear. Have yet to lose traction unless I am trying real hard. I don't run them when the temp drops though.

I would agree if you DD and put miles on they are not the best tire for wear. I have just under 50000 kilometers on mine and they are bald as a baby's bottom as in no tread lines left. As far as a good tire I have not found a tire with better performance. So if you match your tire to the drive there are better tires for DD applications.
