ZL1 All Season/Winter Tire - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Camaro 5,

I'm looking for any help on what all season tire or winter tires to buy for the 2015 ZL1. I was told by tire rack to get "Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3".

Do they make any winter tires/all season that go 285 in front/305 in rear or just buy one size all around?

Also I will be keeping the rims on with the sensors and just buying the tires!

Thanks for the help!

Why are you going with a 275/40 on the front verse a 285/30?

Me too on the DWS. Probably get them mounted this weekend. This year I have them on grey powder coated stock 10 spokes.

Anyone tried the Continental Extreme Contact DWS Size: 295/40ZR20 Diameter : 29.3" front tire?

i had the 275x30x20 installed in front and 315x30x20 on rear.

Mad props to the folks driving their ZL-1 in the winter. I have "only" an SS but the mere thought of not driving her for months was not acceptable to me, I could have bought a winter car, it's not a cost issue.

Good luck on your tire selection, I found a great set of tires/wheels on TireRack by Rudy and should be all set for the white stuff.

ittybittyfds · 11-12-2014, 07:52 PM

well i will drive it in the winter but not when snow is on roads....she will sit in garage on those days

thats when the Raptor has her fun!
