RS/SS Tire Replacements
I apologize if this has already been asked, but for those with the RS and SS tire packages that can't be rotated, what's the average life you have been seeing? I've put on 6K miles since I got it in June and at that rate I'm going to be seeing about 25K miles by next June. This is my daily driver, but I don't drive it rough at all and have never done any kind of spin out and don't plan to. I'm just curious that since these tires can't be rotated, should I plan on having to buy new tires each year? I know some of you have had yours over a year and a half so I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask. Thanks!

Commits weekly crime
|
I'm replacing my tires after almost 20,000 miles. I've driven hard occasionally, and been at the track doing bracket racing for 6 events this year.

The tires can be rotated side to side, the P-Zeros are not unidirectional. My tire guy says do it.

I've had my car for almost 15 months a with around 16,000 miles, my tires still have tons of tread left and are wearing evenly....I'm guessing I'll get about 30k before buying new tires.

I live in St. Louis so we will be experiencing winter on these 20 inch summer only pirelli tires. My dealer (Weber) said, quit wenching and drive in winter on summer tires. My last winter car was a 06 GTO and I got around fine. This is my 6th Camaro (also had one Firebird). Keep me posted on how well you get around this winter. This is my daily driver too so I have no choice but to drive her. I was thinking about buying a set of Yokohama Parada Spec X's as they are all season and highly rated. Not many tire options other than the factory Pirelli's.

I've got 13,500 on my SS and the rear Pirellis are already down to the wear bars. I will be struggling to make 15,000 miles with the rear. The front looks fine. I don't understand why the rears are wearing so fast as I do not do much spirited driving but do on occasion. When I do, traction control is on 99% of the time so I get very little wheel spin. This is my daily driver and am putting ~12,000 per year on the car. 50% Hwy/50% City daily.
Anyway, I don't want to be put Pirellis back on so does anyone have suggestion for replacement tires that will fair better than the P-Zeros?
