What tires other than stock will fit my 2013 1LE? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I have a 1LE and find the ride to be too harsh especially for Montreal's lousy roads. Instead of swapping the suspension, can I get a higher profile tire on the 1LE wheels? I care more about comfort and safety and less about pushing a full G in a turn. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

A higher profile tire won't help you much in the ride department, plus you won't be able to go much taller anyway. You could look at some other tires, ones designed for less performance as they may have sidewalls that are not quite as stiff. Based on your other post about steering, I'm thinking the 1LE might not be the right Camaro for you. This is a car set up for the track.

I drive a 1LE around the Minneapolis area which has plenty of frost heaves, potholes and bumpy roads, this car rides better than my 2005 Z51 Corvette did.
