Just google reviews, don't take my word for it. I've had these tires on Charlotte Motor Speedway during a track night and was able to run almost identical laps than with a Goodyear Supercar 3. They don't grease up on the track and have grip for days in the rain.

You will have to relocate the wire harness in the driver side rear wheel well, the tire will rub the liner and the harness if its not moved. I removed a piece of the liner that was rubbing, so just cut out a 4 inch rectangle piece of liner and kept it moving. The tires don't rub anywhere else.

As far as alignment is concerned, you can run -2.0 camber, but will rub the inside tread on the strut spring retainer when doing full wheel lock or heavy compression of the strut. Makes a nice groove in your tread The groove is about 3mm deep. All electronics work as intended with no issues with traction control.

The tire size fills up the wheel well nicely and I would buy them again in a heartbeat.

Hope this helps!

I was going to go this route myself but order 275/30/20 for the front and the 305 in the rear.

comp 2!

Getting the 275/30 20 up front will really let you crank that negative camber. You'd be able to do the max which is -2.6 all day long. Just remember the wheel gap will be off from front to rear by 5mm or more.

I live in Greenville, SC so we have the same climates. I daily my car year round.

I say option 3

Purchase a used set of Standard SS wheels. 20X8.5 and 20X9.5 and run General G-MAX AS-05 in 255/35 & 275/35

I may have gotten a better than average deal on my SS wheels since they came with the TPMS sensors, but I managed to get the used wheels and brand new general tires for about $1100. Bought a $20 amazon TPMS tool and now I can swap my tires in my own garage.

Those sizes will be dead on with SS 1LE tire diameter so your speedo won't be off and if you so desire you can run the 20MM hub centric spacers to get the wheels flush with the fenders like the OEM 1LE wheels.

Freezes multiple times in winter..

Statistical historical averages put Atlanta's minimum average low at 33°F. Obviously there will be deviations to that average. Now if you want to talk record lows, that'll be clearly less than the average low.

Lol I drove the supercar 3's from East Tennessee to VIR and it poured snow for like a hour on the way there through the mountains 😂😂😂. Was the first time my car saw any precipitation. It's was horrendous. I was puckered the whole time.

In regards to a all season, there isn't much that compares to the continental dws for a performance all season.

HYPER1LE, that is great feedback. I searched your previous posts to see what the tires looked like on you car and I'm sorry to hear about your accident but glad no one was injured. Love the blue as well and that is the color I like on these cars. Are those MMRs? If so, do you mind me asking where you purchased them and if it was a good experience?

[GAOLDGUY]

glopez5, thanks for the Nitto feedback. You saved me big bucks because that was my first choice because of the size match. So close...

[GAOLDGUY]

DeeZ Nutts, thanks for the feedback. I think your choice is excellent but I don't want to increase tire diameter on these cars. In fact if I could, I think I would order one of these with 4.11 gears but those days are long gone. I would also rather the speedometer read barely high than barely low. Thanks again.

[GAOLDGUY]

Vtor_ZL1, thanks. That's how I'm leaning.

[GAOLDGUY]

Ryophile, thanks. I think that is my plan.

[GAOLDGUY]

mjk3888, thanks for the feedback. I could end up with White. There seem to be a few in the area price pretty well. How do you like living with that color?

[SpazmXylam]

I opted for as cheap as possible for all season. All they need to do is keep the car out of the ditch during the cold/wet days.


Picked up a set OE BMW wheels off a 5 series. 245/45R18 on all 4. New rubber in that size is about $100. depending on the tire. Just a set of takeoffs from craigslist.



Squirrely like a C63 AMG (255's OE size with similar power)


Was quite pleased when they cleared the brakes with room to spare. I feel like they look as if they could be the OE wheel for a V6 version or something.

[DeeZ NuttS]

That's cool, didn't ever think of putting BMW wheels on the Camaro, me likes!
