With the SS, you get "stuck" with the 20" wheels and tires. I REALLY don't want them! I don't want to have to spend more than $350 EACH to replace them AND they're summer tires that are totally unsuitable for our weather 3 months a year. For the same reason, I'm going to skip the RS package if I go LT. Right now, there really are no good all-season 20" tires that fit these cars. Arrggggggghhhh!
I think if there was a way to get the SS or an RS LT with a factory 18" or 19" wheel/tire package (with good all seasons, like the PZero Nero on the plain 2LT), I'd certainly jump on the SS. But since there isn't...it may be pretty much a deal breaker for me!
Does anythone think (or know) if Pirelli is going to make a PZero Nero in a 20" to fit the SS/RS? (I'd happily take 4 x 245/45ZR20s ).

For those of us in the NY metro Area or other cold climates who will drive the Camaro all year round, the tires the car comes with will not work. The colder those tires get the worse the traction (especially below 40F). Forget about driving it in snow of any kind. You wont even be able to move it from one side of the street to the other. After looking around I realized that GM picked some very odd size combos and there are not to many choices. My first choice is usually Good Year, but they don't have anything in this size. I did some research based on the choices and narrowed it down to 2 possibilities. Below are the two I'm left with. One of them is a lower profile tire which is a whole question in itself and the other is not in the usual top 3 brands of tire but has a pretty strong rating.
