All Weather Tires for 2LT wRS (20") - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Hi all,

I am expecting my car sometime next month and most probably rains should have started by then in Seattle. I read in many threads that PZeros are not safe in lower temperatures so I am looking to switch to an all weather option.

Based on the reviews and availability, I have zeroed down on Continental ExtremeContact DWS (~$1170 shipped from tirerack) and Nitto Motivo ($1160 installed from other dealer).

I am leaning towards Nitto based upon brand value but haven't seen a review from any Camaro owner yet.
Please share your views on Motivo if you have used one or know someone who did.

P.S. - PM me in case you want to block new set of PZeros, available late October

I use the General G-Max AS-03... Pretty good in the cooler wet weather so far, but not sure about real cold yet either... Any snow on 40 series tires in this rear wheel drive car is gonna be pretty rough any ways...

I heard it snows for a week at max in Seattle and when it does I won't be touching my car. I am more worried about the thin ice.

Will check out General G-Max as well, thanks for the input.
