Winter tires for 2LT RS - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

So I keep reading everyone says to get winter tires if your camaro is a daily driver and not a garage king/queen. Im trying to find the pirellis but it seems like they dont make it for the RS package?

Im sure im just looking at it the wrong way, would anyone mind taking a minute to clarify? Or maybe tire rack just doesnt have them?

Got mine last year from Tire Rack for my 2LT RS. 18s for the tires and new rims.

I can't speak for swapping tires for the 20" rims, but I just bought a 17" winter wheel and tire setup for my 2LT/RS from Tire Rack: http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showpo...&postcount=118

IMO, it's a lot easier to have a separate set of wheels and tires if you (or family/friend) have the storage space. It's less stress on the stock wheels and all tires, and cheaper in the long run.

I have the 20 inch Pirelli's but you may want to consider a 17 or 18 inch package. Give me a call if I can help.

i would suggest going with a 18" snow tire/wheel package.You just swap out the 20s and put them back on in the spring.We have installed 6 sets over the last year on camaros and all of them went with the blizzak tire over the standard snow tire.The ride is second to none,the hard part is picking what 18 inch wheel you want.
