I drove GTRs from 2013 to 2020 and never got more than 15k miles on Michelin's 4S. I doubt I get 12k on 4S on this car.

Quality tires for this car are not cheap, but if you drive the car all year long, you'll be much better off with all seasons that have a 500+ treadwear rating, those are cheaper and will last you very long given your laid back driving style.

Square tires means running the same size wheels and tires on all four corners. Apex Race Parts has decent quality Camaro specific wheels. https://support.apexraceparts.com/hc...-Fitment-Guide Tires are not much cheaper, but the ability to rotate may mean longer tire life. You're on the right track on UTQG numbers. Higher numbers generally means longer tire life. What's the tires that are on your short list so far? I like the General G-MAX AS-05.

I keep seeing the PS4S recommended, so considering those. But most of my considerations come from my search on TR. CONTINENTAL EXTREMECONTACT DWS 06Ultra High Performance All-Season This is what I'm also considering, primarily. |

If you want a good tire on that is affordable look at the Firestone Firehawk Indy 500's.

The Indy 500 have been very well reviewed. There's no mileage warranty on those, like most UHP Summer tires.

I would expect 15-20k miles with no rotation. for 800.00 a set you can afford to change them yearly. They are great tires for the money. I have put them on other rides I have owned and liked them. Right now I have Nitto 555 G2 front and 555r2 rear and they are great. You could do G2's all around for daily driving but I believe the Firehawks will have better dry traction on the rear. If I didn't run a drag radial on the rear I would probably go with the Firehawks. Michelin stuff is overpriced imo.

Someone else had recommended to just shop for some good all-season tires. Are these Indy 500 bad for cold weather driving? (now is when I completely admit I have zero reference for tire results in summer vs winter, especially with this monster V8 in question - as far as cars, I've only ever had, like, Corolla... 😂 |

Well The Goodyear F1 ASM3 Run flat is what comes on the SS stock and that is a UHP summer tire. I have had no issues driving on a Summer tire in 40-45 degree weather. I wouldn't consider it be much of a issue unless the car sat out in below freezing weather for extended periods of time. If that is the case then All seasons would be best.

For your situation, not a heavy foot and tire budget-conscious, I would recommend either the Continental DWS 06, Michelin a/s 3+, or Michelin All Season 4 (the brand new version of the a/s 3+). Those are the top performance all seasons, and I honestly wouldn't bother with anything else in the category. You'll give up some performance as compared to summer only, but the increased tire life and better road manners will be good things for you.
