Mine is my DD so I went to TireRack and bought a set of 245/45/20 Scorpion ice and snows with SM wheels and TPSMs. I had my tires before I had my car. I have been driving through Wisconsin snow every day for over 40 years. I have missed 2 work days because of snow. In 1974 our only car was a 69 Nova with a 375 hp 396. It had snow tires on the rear. Went to work one day in a 14" blizzard.

I can't wait for the first big snow this year.

I have the all seasons on (non-RS) and they worked fine last winter.

yup!..mine did too!...t/a radials (all seasons)..no problems at all!..just try to stay out of the "heavy" stuff!

I guess I'll be somewhere in between.
I have my winter beater for crappy weather, and the Camaro will be in the garage under cover, but if it's a nice day with no salt or cinders on the road, I'll have to drive it!

"Junior" and I will be out for our 2nd winter. Haven't purchased any snows yet, but I got through the winter ok last year. Only problem was with intersections that weren't plowed properly. Got a slight fishtail but no big deal - same as my old patrol cars! Good luck to all this winter!

Mine is a DD, bought in march now has 17000 + miles . will use my beater truck in the snow, don't feel like plowing snow with my lowered SS.

redirish · 11-10-2010, 05:27 PM

I haven't change my oil yet and I have 2100 on her. Just thinking if I should have it changed before the winter or after?

PatsRS · 11-10-2010, 07:06 PM

My First winter with mine. I am having a shed delivered so I can move my Camaro into the garage. Too much stuff. Although I probably will be tempted to take it out if the weather is exceptional. Winters in NW Jersey can vary sometimes rough sometimes weak. Leaving the snow for my Pontiac.

2011ss/rs · 11-11-2010, 07:13 PM

I will be putting her away in the garage and begin driving my 200,000+ Blazer. I hope the snow gods do not pound us again this year

redirish · 11-12-2010, 07:02 AM

I like the first picture of your car! She is looking good

But the next two pics make me want to

LOL

ZuluKilla8 · 11-12-2010, 09:02 AM

Keep mine in the garage and mod it out

I have a work car to drive around, although it is a 390HP Charger RT so still will be fun in the snow !!

stlrammer · 11-12-2010, 09:25 PM

I live in St. Louis, MO. This is my first winter and its my daily driver. Going with Yokohama ParadaXs. They are all season but winters here are not too bad. I drove a 2006 GTO last 3 winters with all season tires and did fine.

BTW I have a set of Perilli's off my RS for cheap $400. Only 1,500 miles. Local Pickup.
