Preparing for rainy drive?
My 2013 Camaro 2SS/RS is my daily driver.
Tomorrow seems like its going to be a rainy day which is the first in my month of ownership. How should I prepare for bad weather? or even worse weather (ie snow)? If I get stuck some how up hills etc. is it better to turn traction control off? I know some cars it could make it worse. |

2. Get in car, start engine and back out of garage. 3. Turn on windshield wipers, and close garage door. 4. Pull out of driveway, and go about your daily drive. It is a freaking Chevy, not some super rare exotic. It won't melt.

If you have the Pirelli p-zero tires they are not to good in rainy cold weather. They will lose traction very easy as they are only a summer tire. Just take slow and you will be ok.

Rain - you'll be fine, even Pzeros I never had problems in rain, just watch your right foot
Snow - Pzeros won't work very well if at all. Switch to all seasons or snow/ice tires for the winter, anymore than 2-3 inches of snow don't drive the Camaro. Keep traction control on, these are heavy cars so that helps too. Just don't gun it go slow and you'll be fine.

I prepare by getting in my truck. Never had a problem in the rain using that method.
