Rims & Tires

[whidobie]

I just after many years decided to finally Powder Coat my 2011 Camaro RS/SS V8. I had them use 2 colors and loved the job that was done. The only issue I had I was told I needed new tires. Car is just over 10 years with just a touch over 34,000 with the Pirelli P Zero All Season. I just changed tires on my 2015 Malibu that had over 100,000 miles on the orig tires so i do keep the tire pressure correctly and make sure the alignment is always correct.

Any recommendation on tires that would last longer than 35,.000 miles for
all season even thou it is garaged in the winter.

Run flat tires do not last as long as other tires. I have pirelli p zero too and find to be a really solid all around tire.

Was the issue tire wear or the age? A lot of tire shops would recommend replacing 10 year old tires, especially if they were taken off the rims anyway.

Continental Extreme Contact DWS06 Sport Plus.. Great tires. I have run them for the past 9 years. Those P-Zero's you have are 10 years old, I wouldn't trust them any longer.

I second these. I ran these for years when i was running all seasons. I also put them on my brothers G8 and he loves them. I had our company mechanic put them on his 11 Mustang GT and he loves them also. Great wear and i was even able to drive around in the snow with them. When my 86 Recaro TA is back on the road, its gonna probably get them as well even tho she will be a garage queen

JEWLDSSRS and Arogg are dead on.Continental Extreme Contact DWS06 Sport Plus are the way to go. JEWLDSSRS helped me every step of the way when I was changing from stock rims to ZL rims and upping the size. I had all summer Pirellis and even though it's a garage queen, only out from early December until it gets nice out. Now with these all season Conti's, I don't have to worry now. What you will notice, and JEWLDSSRS told me this, the RIDE is going to be amazing. My CamaroGen5 seems to float. Great tire, no doubt about it. I also want to give you credit for doing your rims in yellow spokes. As you can see, we have similar CamaroGen5s and it just doesn't seem to get done or I used to see white cars with white rims A LOT. I know brake dust is an issue but pad technology has got better and I see you have the caliper covers(like I do) and they seem to work well. Your car looks great and will look better with the new tires. Just a suggestion if you do shocks, you might want to lower her 1.25 -1.5. Not terribly expensive for the lowering springs only and with the tire purchase, you may be waiting until next year to do he lowering. I was in your neck of the woods Sunday for a party. I live in Morris county. ALso, when you have the tires mounted, make sure they know there are Powder Coated, just as an extra precaution. Good luck and let's see pic's when there mounted.
