New rear tires replacement question SS - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

yellowrs · 06-05-2014, 11:59 PM

What are the best rear tire options for a 2010 SS.
I read so many different stories about tires.
Honestly I like the P-Zero the car came with from the factory.
It hardly ever rains or snows here and 27K miles later I still have the OEM tires on the car but the running low.
What do you guys recommend?
Money is not an option for only two tires!
Thanks for your input.

BF Goodrich g-Force Sport comp 2, you will not regretted it got mine from tirerack.com I love mine. Trust me they are better than P-zero heat, rain, noise I give it an A! I forgot to say they also look beefier.

I got Continental DWS All Weather tires.

I don't think it's rained yet, and my Camaro sadly isn't my DD anymore.

But the expected life is significantly better than my Nitto Invos I had on it before!

I run the sport comp 2's all around. All good so far

I went with the Vreds from Ohio Speed stock production size shipped to my door in two days. Definitely cost me a lot less money over the tire dealers here in Jersey.

I have vredestein as well and they are pretty awesome

I went with the Continental DWS tires on my SS. By FAR, they are superior in colder weather and rain. They also last much longer than the stock P-Zero tires. The sacrifice is that they stick to the road a little bit less than the summer only tires.

Given where you live, why would you run anything other than a summer tire? Are you unhappy with the tire life of the P-Zero?

I'm not ready for tires yet, but I've been looking around and was thinking about the BFG Sport Comp 2 or the General G-Max. Both are popular with the Camaro. But I've read reviews stating they are quite noisy, while others have said they are very quiet. Hard to figure out which one is correct. Obviously you two have no problem with road noise.

I had Firestone Firehawk Wide Oval Indy 500's on my Z28, so I was also thinking about those. Tough decision.

I have the same dilemma since I read so many conflicting reviews on tires.
I love the way P-Zero has performed for me here in AZ.
Hardly ever drive in cold weather and never drive the car in the rain.
I will check out your guys recommendations.
Thank you.

Im at 28180 on the OEM tires. I too will need new tires n brakes soon.

I would stay with Pirelli's if you are not changing all 4.

Vredstiens are pretty good. I run 275/40 on 10" Type 41 rims all the way around.
