New Tires... Need Some Advice - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

TwistedEnergy · 04-19-2017, 11:43 AM

Looking to get new tires for my 2010 SS..

It's just an evening and weekend car with a bit of spirited driving. I don't track it, nor do I drive it in the winter

I have it narrowed down to these 3, but am open to other suggestions....

Goodyear Eagle Sport All-Season

Continental ExtremeContact DWS06

Depends on how you like to drive....
What's Important is this UTQG: 320 AA-A
AA is the best with the other one a A
The # is the tread...the lower the better for traction BUT wears down very quickly

Read: FYI
What do UTQG ratings tell you?

Treadwear (the durability rating)
The treadwear grade is designed to give you a picture of the durability or life you can expect from your tire. What you need to know about the treadwear grade is this: The higher the treadwear number, the longer it’ll take the tread to wear down. Higher is better.
The control tire has a treadwear grade of 100. So, if the tire being tested gets a 200 treadwear rating, that means it’s expected to take twice as long to wear out as the control tire. To get a treadwear grade, tires run a 640 kilometre course for 11,520 km, with tread depths being measured every 1,280 to give a projected tread life.
Traction (the safety rating)
A traction grade tells you how well your tire can stop in wet conditions. The highest traction grade is AA, followed by A, B, and C. Tires with an ‘AA’ traction rating should stop at a much shorter distance than a tire with a ‘C’ rating.
Temperature (the heat resistance rating)
Tires are always up against the stress of heat than can build up driving at high speeds and/or in warm weather. If a tire gets too hot, blowouts can result.
The temperature rating, tells you how well a tire is able to resist heat build-up. That heat resistance is graded with an A, B, or C, with ‘A’ being the highest and ‘C’ being the lowest.

I just put on a set of MPSS. A little louder than the stock Pirelli IMO but much much better grip

justjoshin · 04-20-2017, 10:54 AM

After my stock tires were gone I went with the General AS-03 All Seasons. They looked great, performed well, but were too noisy for me. I have recently put on a set of Kumho ecsta ps91's and I like them so far.

TwistedEnergy · 04-20-2017, 03:10 PM

Awesome, thanks for all the info everyone, looks like there are a lot of options. Just need to pick one that works for me.
