Summer vs All-Season vs No Tires?
It's been 5 weeks since I got my Camaro, so today is the first time I'm dealing with Portland icey conditions. It's clear I'm not going anywhere, even with new Summer tires. Would all-season tires have helped today? Or would I be staying home regardless?
I live in a condo, so I don't have the storage space for Summer & Winter tires. I'll make the investment in all-season tires, if they'll make a significant difference. I simply wish to first get some input from other Camaro owners. Thank you.

I have just received my BF Goodrich all season tires. I bought them used and they look really nice. I haven't put them on yet but a lot of people have been really happy with them. I think they are G forces super comp 2.

I drove my SS in Portland with the summer Pirelli's and it was pretty scary - virtually no grip. I got a set of Nitto Motivo's, they're considered all season - although I would never drive in the snow. In very low temps, the Camaro still handles like the Pirelli's do in the summer.

Just got my 15 RS and I will be driving it in the snow. Dealer threw in a new set of 18" wheels and all season tires off a 16 LT to use in the winter. Will be checking it out here in a couple days. Snow is on the way....

I went to Discount Tire & they offered a great price on a set of Goodyear Eagle Sport All-Season. The issue was that they offered crap for the original ones, which had about 300 miles.

These are good tires. I've driven them in snow a few times now and they perform very well. Never felt unsafe.
