Dude i so envy you. Ontario has been one big pain in the azz this year. Worst winter in 10 years. The premium you pay on that island for the insane weather is so worth it.

YO the Pzero are worthless. If I get an inch on the ground, these things are unstable. They are like fingers without fingernails. If there is any bit of slippage, they suck. I haven't even tested the grip of them going fast because I don't trust them at all.

I am planning to have 2 sets of wheels and tires eventually. What is avg tread life on the Pzero? I hope I can find some good tires that last! I can't imagine these will last long if they are soft, summer tires.

I grew up in NY, so I really appreciate the difference.

You say it, idiots driving, I was just getting to the mall yesterday with dry roads, came out everything white, it was to early then predicted. oh fu.... summer tires on the baby.....omg

what follows you can imagine.... I never was more carefully with a car like in that moment to come home, even left the highway, because start and stops are rid..... with ice under the snow, and there are still idiots they think its summer and try to race it you have to take more care that nobody crashes in your car then to keep it on the street, just awful

just talking about t going to the side roads, ok about 5 - 10mph, if you rolling is good, if you have to stop at a light and go is bad. It almost took me about 1min to come over a cross section ok it thought get the hazard lights on, right lane. There are 2 more lanes to the left for idiots, what they do driving 1m behind you and try to push you?! What in the hell, I just let her go with idle and clutch and she tried to come over my front... even gear change when I was around 1k rpm in 2nd or 3rd she tried to push without any throttle.

Downshift, hell no the back tries to pass you because the engine is braking so hard that it works like the handbrake.....
never again guys, I stay home that days. And don´t try with summer tires.

I mean I have several racing driving schools behind me even ADAC security courses in Germany but this was ridiculous. Happy to got my baby home after 1.5 hrs for 20miles.

And my neighbor was already there

Oh I forgot P-Zeros also but its not all season, that's are only summer tires guys

I got caught out in 2-3 inches of snow 35 minutes away from my house with P-Zeros.

Never again.

The pic in my avatar is on stock tires on my zl1 in 4-6 inches of snow. I took it down a side road just to see. Anyone says they do ok in snow is lying....

But at least I can say I tried.

I was a little pissed about the summer only tires that came on the car, wasn't informed that it came with them by the dealer. So after spending almost $29,000 on a new car I should not have to spend another $800+ to put new tires on it so I could drive it year round.

GM should have sold these with all season tires to area's that have cold winters.

Mind boggling.

I'm in my first winter with the ss this year. The Conti DWS are actually pretty solid. I had to take her out in a few bad storms and it wasn't all that bad, side streets were in terrible condition but it all went way better than expected haha

I got the Blizzak snow tires in November and have been VERY happy with them. We have had a crapload of snow here in the Philly Western suburbs. I live on a hill on a street that rarely gets plowed and have had no problems going up or down the street.
Love my Camaro!!

I put a new set of tires on the car the same thing a week after I bought the car in November. Since it's my only car, I had to make 2 trips from the tire place twice to bring the P-zeros home.

I feel your pain, Kaly. I have a 2013 Convertible so I am at the mercy of my friends with a van or pick up. I can't even get 1 tire in the trunk! lol

This winter has been a snowy one this year for us in the Philly area. My husband will not let me get snow tires for my Camaro. I just want this winter to end!
