What the heck do you guys and gals expect with those RS package tires and the street tires on the SS's....they are made for bare pavement...the LT and LS all season work great, and with snow tires my camaro is a tank! Besides you have to know how to drive in snow! (which apparently lots of you don't). No sympathy from me
By the way, I got rid of those 20' inch rims and tires as soon as mine hit the dealer floor in December...run all 18's now |

I drove my Camaro in the 4-5 inches of snow..... I have on 18" Pirelli Scorpion Ice & Snow and it felt as good as any other cars on snow, the traction control kicked in a few times but I had no problems up to 60 kmh

Been there, done that (yesterday). With the winter tires on the car is actually quite hard to spin unless you really give it gas. I actually had FUN driving home in the snow we had unlike most people I imagine. Took it to an empy parking lot and played with the traction control. With it turned off I hit the gas and just sat there. With it on the car actual started to move quickly and controllably. Stabilitrack also made it hard to spin the car out. I love this car!!

"No way my camaro is ever seeing snow" "I've had it in the garage since november" etc.. I've also noticed you get people who don't "RTFOM" about winter driving and winter tires. (O=Owners) |

Closest mine got to snow was an unplowed parking lot at the beach in December, went right through it to turn around with no problem. Rest of the main roads were dry.

You know what I say. It's not so much the snow that's a problem. It can somewhat navigate snow depending. It's the ICE!!! Ice and this car's current tires are a no go. Get some dedicated snow tires & wheels or don't drive this car in those conditions or you'll be sorry.
At the end of the day, do you really want to take that kind of chance of "MAYBE" you won't slide into another car or object and have $$$$ worth of damage.... |
