about getting 20" all season tires
This information is for all the people that might be interested in being able to get 20" all season tires. I just talked to GM Chevrolet division. I asked them about being able to have a choice of 20" summer or all season tires with the RS package, they told me things could change by the start of production.
I think if enough of us inqury about this, they might consider this. Their phone number is 1-800-950-2438 The E-mail is Chevrolet.com, go to help center, then go to contact, then to E-Mail division. |

i am sure they can make a deal with tire makers so that they can get them exchanged for a set that would make sense to the customer. It sounds silly for some living in Alaska to purchase a car that has equipment for a hotter climate. What next, a car with only air conditioning, no mattter where you live? Even worse a car with only a heater! :(

about 20" all season tires
I see where some of you agree with me. So lets all let GM know, some of us would like 20" all season tires.

In some environments, all-season tires would be adequate, but they don't work in areas of extensive dryness, wetness, or snow. Just because they can be used in every season doesn't mean that they will grip they way that they should to be safe.

Forward this thread to GM & who knows might help? I ordered a 2LT & 2SS both with RS package. I would also prefer 20 inch "All Season" tires! |

about 20" all season tires
I did some checking on different cars , I found out that Chrysler standard tires on the SRT8, is a P245/45ZR20 all season tire; the dodge challenger offers as a option P245/45ZR20 all season tire, but I don't know the brand of the tire. As you can see their are 20" all season tires available.

I have a 2LT RS on order and all season will not help me. I will need 4 winter rated tires after Oct 1 to April 15th. It just became law (in Dec ) in Quebec thay all 4 wheels must be WINTER rated. TOO many dead bodies from preventable accidents with "all season" tires. If you can't afford the tires you can't afford the car.
