Isn't it only LT or SS? Did the site specifically say "LS"?

No LS of any iteration.
Turbo 4 is base LT and V6 is the upgrade. V8 is SS. Laborsmith |

Are the Asymmetric 3s a new tire? I can't find anything about the 3s.

It appears they are going in production for the new car. another part of the article talked about the long history Goodyear has developing tires for GM.

From what I gather, there are 3 different tires here:
1) the 18" Eagle Sport all-season for the base LT cars 2) the 20" Eagle F1 Asymmetric all-season as an upgrade on the LT cars 3) the 20" Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 summer performance tires on the SS The way the OP is worded makes it seem like the SS is getting all-season tires

Makes sense they do not want to put spare tires, jacks, inflators in the cars. That trunk lid is so small I bet a tire will not fit thru the opening!!! In fact the Caddy's that come with run flats now have nothing in the trunk but the battery.

The Camaro SS features 20-inch aluminum wheels equipped with Goodyear’s next-generation ultra-high performance summer tire—the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 RunOnFlat®—in size 245/40ZR20 (front) and 275/35ZR20 (rear). The Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 is Goodyear’s premium offering for responsive handling and control in both dry and wet conditions, and will debut on the Camaro SS before its full release in 2016. The tire was extensively tested on the 2016 Camaro SS at a number of world-renowned race tracks, including Virginia International Raceway, Road Atlanta and Germany’s Nürburgring Nordschleife.
