Pirelli P Zero's suck in even 1/2" of snow! Anyone try Eagle All Seasons on Gen 5?

Pirelli P Zeros suck in snow!
I have a 2013 V-6 RS Automatic.

Has anyone tried Eagle All Season Tires? Other suggestions? This car can't be that bad in winter.

AdamZ, who I think is still 'suspended' had a great video last year where all he was trying to do was get in/out the garage. Quick proof that the stock P-Zero's are not made for any cold or snow.

I have all-season even though I try not to drive it in any bad weather - but it could still be cold.

Mine are working great in winter, especially during hard turns.

+1 for P-Zeros in Winter.

I switch to a Blizzak DMV1 package that is used only in cold weather. It is great in the snow. Better than my last two Grand Prixs.

I have the Eagle all seasons but I don't drive mine in the winter so I can't tell you how they handle snow. I have a Silverado and an Escape both 4x4 to handle winter conditions.

Check out the General GMax, they are reviewed favorably, and what I will be getting soon.

See the Tired discussion thread.

These are awesome, I've had them on 3 years and driven through snow. They work, just take it easy out there and you'll be good

1st MOD for every Camaro owner is to call Tire Rack (a C5 Sponsor) and order up a -1 wheel and winter tire fitment. Then you can change them out whenever you want/need to. Only MORONS drive on summers in the winter. Not only are you putting yourself and your precious Camaro at risk but if you crash into me, I'm going to sue your ass off for negligence because EVERYBODY knows not to drive in winter with summer tires.

Grow up.

It's not a winter car. Period. Different tires may make it bearable but don't complain when it responds like a rear wheel drive muscle car.
