Default Camaro SS Tires

One thing that my new 2002 LE Camaro needs is new tires. What tires do you guys run on your SS?

Where I live, it doesn't snow hardly ever...but we do get a couple icy days a year (during which I'm going to avoid the roads at all costs). What we get a lot of is rain.

What I was going to get were Goodyear Eagle F1 All Season tires...but I can't find any. What are you guys running on your SS?

I dont have an SS but im running falken Azenis RT-615 tires. they are primarily good for dry pavement, but they stick like no other.

Just about any all season tire will be good for you. I hear the General exclaim is a great tire.

I ve always run the BFG Goodrich KDWS tires. They are great in the rain and they last. Discount Tire has the best price and service IMO.

I'm running Kumho Ecsta 280's in the rear and 275's up front. One of the reasons for these Kumho's is the two deep channels for rain and rains pretty heavy here especially with the monsoon season coming. I have had over 12 sets of Goodyears GSC's and mainly F1's over the years and that is a lot of $$$. I have about 4000 miles so far on these Kumho and they are wearing quite well. They have a treadwear of 400 and they seem to stick fairly well and that's with pushing 500 horse. I can no longer rotate so that means a alignment more often. When I first got this 01 it had Nittos and with less than 15,000 miles on them the sidewalls were already cracking so I trashed those real quick.

The General Exclaim UHP's are a hands down great bang-for-the-buck tire. I've put about 13k miles on mine so far and they are doing fine. I expect 40k out of them, and they're decently sticky too.

The best tire I've had so far is the BFG KDW. I currenly have GSD3s but I liked the KDW better and will be going back to them when I wear these out.

Goodyear GS-D3's or BFG KDW's. Both will suck in the snow and ice, but they are great in the dry and rain.
