TIRES .......what the #*LL! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

So I'm in need of new tires for the ZL1. Wanted to go with the super sports, but the finding like all four is a nightmare. Been checking with Americas tire and they can't get them. They said they can get the fronts which are on backorder but not rears. Wanted to go with 315 in the rear. So then I was gonna get the hankook ventus R-S3 version 2 and they also are a no go. I'm past frustrated. Any recommendations?

Thanks. I'll check it out

Yep fronts are on backorder and the rears aren't available until 9/18. Just ridiculous. I think it's because all the new Z06s are getting the pilot super sports.

I ran into the same issues and found the tires available at Walmart, check it out.

I thought it would be easy to find different tires, but it turns out, at least when I needed to put new ones on, that there were no complete sets to be found. Went to three different shops and got online on Tire Rack and any other website they could find to try and order tires and no luck. I could get the fronts, but the rears were on back order with no set date for availability, or if I went with another brand I could get the rears but no fronts. I ended up going with the stock Goodyear Eagle F1s because my tires were bald.

Same prob. I'm having

I had this problem 4 months ago. I finally just went to Discount and ordered a set. I had to wait 3 months. At first I ordered 295/315. The 295 sticks out in the front about a 1/16" at the top. I chose to order 285s for the front and waited. Well worth the wait.
