Anyone else want the RS package without the 20s on their LT? - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Ugh. That settles it. No RS for me. :( I'll live.

i hate the 20" tires too, im hoping i can get some new rims that work with some reasonable priced tires so i can burn them off and not waste tons of money

i thought i hear somewhere that the rs would have 20's in the back and 19's up front

You heard wrong

SS - 245/45/20 front and 275/40/20 rear

Well technically you didn't hear wrong, the Concept had like smaller front tires and the big ones on the back.

But that combo will not be offered, the common buyer won't be drag racing and I would imagine the handling is out right insane to imagine.

I remember I ask an enginieer once, "Do you have to have a degree to be that stupid"???

What option is that? I mean which tires?

I live in michigan so I'm in exactly the same boat. The first thing I gotta do is drop another grand for snow tires..... BUMMER :( Then I gotta STORE 4 tires in my "not so big" garage all winter too???

Damn.. I'm starting to re-think things......

I/m told the 2LT w/RS gets the exact same tire/wheel as the SS, summer tires included. I was hoping for an all season tire. I drive my 06 vette (which has the GY F1 SC tires - Z51 option) 11 months out of the year and manage. Just slow down and leave more distance around you. But on those days when it's REALLY COLD with heavy snow or ice expected it stays home and we car pool in my wifes 08 Accord or our knock around 2001 PT Cruiser.

I'll get buy.

I am just about ready to tell Chevrolet where they can put their Camaro!!! I have called customer service and just received an email answer. Their answer is, "this is the way we will build them and if you don't like it, go to hell". It is my money and if i can't get what I want fom Chevrolet, I'll bet Infiniti will build me just what I want in a G37 coupe!!!!!

Pirelli has the only matched pair I could find. Head to their site...

Even with these though you'd have to go 245/50/20 on the fronts, although that little bit of side wall difference shouldn't mean anything.
