It is not rated at the same speed rating.
The SS comes with a ZR tire with a service description of Y = 186 MPH while VR=149 MPH. Big difference but I highly doubt very many people are going to hit the 149 mark. I just don't like it very much when people go throwing out information that can mislead others.
You should stay with a tire that has the same type qualities as your original tires including load index and speed rating. I would also not put a tire made for another type of vehicle (SUV and Crossover for the spec x) on my performance car.
Until other manufacturers come out with tires that are staggered correctly for the Camaro we will be stuck with Pirelli if you want matching tires.
