I just got the Continental DWS 06 Plus tires installed. A few hundred miles on them so far and very pleased. They balanced out perfectly and handling and traction seems great. They also weigh a bit less than the others so you'll be losing some unsprung weight too.

When I had to replace the P-Zeros on my previous Camaro - a 2014 2LT RS coupe, I went with the BFGoodrich G-Force Comp-2 A/S Plus and liked them a lot. My current 2SS still has the original P-Zeros, and I will research tires when I get ready, but the BFG Comp-2s will have the inside track.

Good luck with your decision.

I been getting a lot of people telling the BFG tires

If you’re not driving it in the rain why do you need all season tires? They will never grip like a summer compound, just stay above 40 degrees Fahrenheit. I just put on Nitto NT 555 G2 after running Nitto Invos previously and I’m the same sizes as you. Stick like glue and are in that $1k-$1.1k range.

I have the BFGs, like them alot

morepowerjoe · 05-13-2021, 12:03 AM

I have the BFG's also. I think they are a pretty good tire. Plus if you get the Y rated they are a 186 mph tire. ��

Because sometimes you basically have to drive in the rain like getting stuck in it by accident. Plus I live in Minnesota so the weather is very temperamental here

I can see if you get cold temps and it’s your only car. With your mods you’ll overpower an all season tire but if you have to have that option I’d go with the Continental 06 Plus but they all are probably right around the same.

I have the General G Max a/s 3's awesome grip. Great all weather tire.

Is there something wrong with the P-Zero's that you wanted something else?

the reason I switched from the P Zeros is because here in the northern part of the country when it gets cold, it is like driving on skates. add a little rain and you might as well stay home. turns out BFG was the ONLY company to make all weather tires in 305/35 size, so this is what I had to go with. VERY happy with the traction and performance in all weather conditions except snow.
