With my ZL I just found a good set of SS take offs and put a set of Blizzaks on them and save the good wheels untill the roads clear. Then if you get caught in some snow it's no big deal or a good set of regular AS tires and the Bridgestones have an amazing amount of grip for what the car is.

Be careful the gys are not supposed to be driven below 40 and stored below 20. Check your tires real good for cracks.

...hollah!...bricks are an understatement in the cold...the tires are more like hockey pucks....but, the good news is you are gonna love it yo when it gets hot in the summertime and the tires get all glued to the pavement! I can't wait...it's like the Arctic Circle here in the Northeast.....

Congrats!

The Camaro ZL1 is a fantastic choice. I hope you are able to get behind the wheel soon as the weather warms .
