I LOVE the P-Zeros but would like a "Normal" compound, not a summer one.

Anyone know of good tires?

I've heard quite a few recommendations for the Continental Extreme Contact DWS. As soon as my tires wear out, I'll be looking at these myself.

Check into the Hankook Ventus ST RH07 and RH06.

I haven't tried these but have been given good recommendations on them. I've also read good things about: Nitto tires ... Yokohama Parada ... Bridgestone Potenza RE-11 (I don't think they come in 20") ... BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW

TireRack & Discount tire have great review sections. Read through them

That's how I had settled on my last set of truck tires and then recommended them to my GF for her truck.

I just put a set of Continental Extreme Contact DWS on my SS/RS. I wanted something with a longer treadlife also. I live in Pittsburgh, so I should have a chance to try them in light snow. I"ll let you know how they handle. So far (only 190 miles), they're doing fine.

I had the parada spec-x before on a previous car and was very pleased with those.

I have run these through the winter here in Indy, love'n them. I will be putting the stock tires onto some new rims soon, but the DSW have been good in the weather.

Just remember to order them through the 'Tire Rack' link above.

Save some money.

I have heard a lot of good things about Vredestein Sessanta and this article confirms what I've heard: http://g35driver.com/forums/3851343-post39.html
Best thing about the article is they tested 20" tires.

The C&D article below is a great tire test but most of the tires cannot be had for the Camaro.

Toyo Proxes ST-II or Nitto Invos

toehead93 · 03-05-2010, 05:16 PM

My answer would be whichever is better in the rain. But I don't know.
