Can you make us some all season tires instead and you can have all the summer tires back. Unfortunately this means that you will be stuck with them for who knows how long causing you to lose ten's of thousands of dollars." Yea I don't thank so. This isn't like some of the other things GM has changed based on our feedback where GM already had the materials available for other trims. This scenario is imo out of GM's control atm. If you want all season tires for your 20's, you're better off waiting till next MY.

GM and Pirelli like many other companies uses an on time logistics system, so those tires are not sitting in a GM warehouse waiting to be mounted. They are being produced and shipped in on a daily basis. Being that this tire is not specific to the Camaro, while doubtful, it would definitely be possible for Pirelli to change the tires they ship in if need be. On any given day GM (or whoever is doing the wheel assembly for GM) probably has 2 days worth of backlog of tires at most.
PS I absolutely agree, I NEED all seasons....
