Is the Pirelli P-Zero my only option???
Please help, I need to get new tires, again..., because the Pirelli P-Zero are basically crap compared to other tires I have had on other cars, etc. After doing lots of research and so on, the only all season I can find for the 2010 LT 19" option (245/50 19) are the Pirelli P-Zeros. But they run out of tread for me in about 19-20k miles, and once the tread is about half gone, i start getting vibrations and stuff. These tires are crap! I found a well respected Cooper tire in that size (the ZEON RS3-A) but it turns out they don't support the proper load capacity, needs to be W104 if I remember correctly.
Please let me know if any of you have found other, better quality tires for stock 19" rims. Thanks! |

Check tire rack sticky on the top of the page. Should be a couple other choices listed in that size.

Your only getting 19 -20K miles? Most of us (with the 2lt's) are getting at least 30 - 40 K miles, I've got 32 K on mine now and still got more to go.

Mine are toast at 27000, and that is with two winters not using the Pirellis since I got snow tires.
A lot of the 19" options on TireRack that are listed for the Camaro are 'sport truck' or 'crossover/suv' tires. That terminology concerns me that those options will not be the best in terms of performance or comfort. I mainly want good treadwear without sacrificing too much performance. Oh yeah, and I would like to go wider on the stock 19" wheels.

It is a Camaro and the tires should be abused now and then |

Mine are still very good for tread at 30k miles. I'm also happy with their performance....where I would buy them again. I haven't had vibration issues or such. Only thing I'm noticing is a little slippage when cornering on wet pavement. I too would like to go up a size on the stock 19" rims. I was thinking a 255 tire, but having trouble narrowing it down to a good one that isn't stupid expensive.

Haha I like the way you think. You should get sway bars and take a few fast corners too!
