The 275s in the front would look pretty strange. You can run those in the rear, but you get better snow handling with the 245/45/20 all around.

Here are a few more shots of my winter wheels/tires after a morning bath. Thanks again Rudy. I'm getting all sorts of compliments on the wheels.

I'd say I'm probably one of the pioneers of using this tire on the Camaro as I got them in November 2009.

I think the tires still look brand new.

I store them in my garage all summer with nearly all the air let out of them.

Recommended Tire with this package is 235/55R19 Pirelli Scorpion Ice and Snow. I prefer this tire for the Camaro because its winter performance is great and it has a stiffer sidewall when compared to many lower speed rated snow. This works great with the weight of the Camaro and they handle better in the dry when compared to a lot of other winter tires.

We can add Tire Pressure Sensors. All of our Packages come Hunter Road Forced balanced and with the mounting hardware.

You will be amazed at how well your Camaro SS can do in snow with this package.

hey Rudy, currently have a 2010 2LT/RS and have 2012 2SS/RS on order, should have it around end Dec/begin January 2012. Looking into (finally) getting a set of Winter Tires/Wheels. I assume I can get the following and will fit both cars: 19X8.5 Elbrus I08 Anthracite Painted for 2012 Chevrolet Camaro SS RS Package and 235/55R19 Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V1 Blackwall for 2012 Chevrolet Camaro SS RS Package. Bridgestone b/c looks as though those Pirellis will be out of stock for a while - are the Blizzaks as good? I've heard they are pretty good .... thanks

[Rudy@Tirerack]

Yes that will fit both cars. Blizzaks are one of the orignal pioneers in snow tires. They are always a good choice. The really tear up the snow! Please let me know if you have other questions.

What kind of wheels are those? What size are they? Also, where did you get them and how much did they run?

Thanks
