We're still talking about a donut right?

Just curious (I'm sure I can look it up), does the Camaro come with Run Flats? I just ordered my 2SS and noticed that the Spare Tire Delete was checked off. Maybe it was because it's an 2SS????????

The non SS cars have a compact spare as a purchase option. The SS does not since Brembos are too big for compact spare to clear calipers.

Thanks for the pics, the hardest piece to get was that Maxxis Tire but got all the parts now.

... I'm curious... does anyone know what size the spare tire is?

Can you tell me where you got the Maxxis Tire and wht size it is? I have everything except the tire and it seems impossible to find. Thanks.

I had to call Maxxis canada customer service and order directly- I do not have the number any longer. GM customer service was useless...try this link and good luck. They will know what size you need for 2010 Camaro. The tire was $70 but shipping from CA added another $50 ouch.

The ss models have the battery in the spare tire area, I think thats why they deleted the option.

OUR72GTO · 01-26-2010, 01:00 AM

ALL models have the battery in the well.

I had to take my "spare" out yesterday when I installed my magnaflow exhaust...said you had to disconnect the neg wire on the battery(to reset the computer?).....what an odd place for a battery!. anyway..have a spare 18 inch Bavariain rim and tire..will it fit in the spare place....hell no...that sucks!
