Needing your vote on some tires!

I need some new tires ASAP! But, I cannot seem to decide on a pair. Soon I am thinking about getting some 20" Giovanna kilis so that might play into the answer. So I use my car as a daily driver in all weather conditions strong heat or snowy ground. I have Pirelli PZeros but dont want to use them again. Nitto NT05's have been the most appealing but still needed some opinions. So in your opinion whats the best tire for me?

I like the NT05 but if you are using your Camaro as a DD, I would suggest All-Season or a less aggressive summer tire. And your not getting your car out in any snow with those tires listed. All-season aren't even that great for snow in these cars. NT05 won't last long if you don't care about replacing them, I've been looking at Hankook's you listed, but also Michelin Pilot Super Sport(Have to go 255 and 285). Motivo makes a good All-season

If where you live has a fair amount of snow in the winter you might want to rethink your choices, i've found out that these cars suck in the traction dept. even with the TC on. Some get a 18' wheel and full snow tire's just for the winter season.

OTHER------General's GMAX AS-03's

Like You, I too have a LT (V6), the above tire is rated as a Ultra-High Performance tire like the OEM tires....however....their treat rating it TWICE the Pirelli's, thus will last a LOT longer....and even with that, I got 35,000 out of them....so I got to figure I will get somewhere in teh ballpark of 60,000 or so miles out of my GMAX's. I tend to be a spirited driver at times and I love the way they handle.

Not really too much snow here. We only get it about 5-10 days out of the year on average and I wouldnt be driving in it the days I dont have to work so not too much of driving in it though mostly likely will happen. But how are the Nitto Invos/Motivos for all season? Seems like they have a good ride comfort?

OTHER...gonna try NITTO's Motivos myself. as they are rated as ultra high performance all season. some of the ones you have listed are UHP SUMMER tires. great on traction when its warm out but not so great once the temps drop.

Guzaku.....just something to remember....you will get a lot of suggestions, and you should keep them all in mind.....do the research on each of the tires you are considering.....and keep in mind how you use your car, is it a Daily Driver?, do you race it? and a lot of the suggestion are based on their experience with those tires.....and how THEY use their car, adn how YOU intend on using yours. The guys that have SS's and race their cars will be suggesting different tires that folks that have LT's, just something to keep in mind as you are making your choice.
