I have Pirelli Scorpion Snow & Ice tires on my 2010, in the stock sizes. I found the traction control does help, but mostly in one circumstance.

I have the M6 transmission, a few winters ago I noticed that when going up a moderate slope hill, one where just about everyone else was going sideways or not at all, my Camaro did best when going slow with RPM around 1,000 to 1,200 almost lugging it, and slipping the clutch just enough to get going then letting the clutch all the way out.

When the clutch pedal was fully released I could feel the rear tires bite, and I drove right by front wheel drive and lesser rear wheel drive cars. This was a first for me because all my previous Camaros were like pigs on ice in the snow. The Gen 5's seem much better in the snow than the earlier generations.
