Good luck with your car man. Not everyone can afford another car in winter and park their Camaro in the garage for the winter. Hell, I wish I had a garage!!

I absolutely HATE these Pirellis!! The rubber is so hard when the temperature is under 45 degrees. Very glad to have put Achilles Sport ATR2's on the back of my Green Flash.

Winter sucks!!! Retirement in 2 years and a move to Florida is in my future.......

I have been driving my car in PA winters since I bought it. I always have snow only tires in the winter. I have never ran all seasons on any of my vehicles. I have had zero issues. With good snow tires these cars will go anywhere. I even installed a heated steering wheel which was a pita, to make winter driving comfortable. I detail my car every year and it looks better than almost all Camaros I see. I bought this car because I like to drive it. I don't park it for 6 months. I only leave it home if it gets really bad or deep which it hasn't here in a long time.

Glad you got your car back.
Suxs folks here "rubbed salt".....but, I learned something about cold and tires, thanks to them posting.
I don't have a lot of experience driving in snow.
