Got my all season tires. - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

After I got my 20" wheels from the dealer I started looking for all season tires. I ended up getting the Toyo Proxes4. I talked to my local tire dealer and he had sold a few sets for other vehicles and had no complaints. It has finally warmed up so I have not had a chance to check out the traction but I did go out and do some testing with the 21" P Zeros. It was 29 degrees with dry roads. After driving about ten minutes it was time to see how they did. First gear offered no traction from a semi-hard rolling launch. Second gear did no better. I then cruised to 50 mile an hour in third and simulated passing a vehicle. Again, no traction.

It is supposed to be in the 40's and 50's here for the next couple weeks. As soon as the weather cools down I will try the new tires doing the same thing.

Great, keep us informed! Please compare how the Toyo's do for ride feel and road noise too if you can. Some of these tires, especially the 275's are made for SUV's and the extra load rating may add to harshness and road noise in a Camaro. It would be nice to have a good all season option for the 20" Pirelli.
