Default Finally got some new shoes for the SS.

So I finally was able to purchase new tires all around, I went with the Cooper Zeon RS3-A all seaons 275/40/17 from Discount Tire Direct for $120 a piece, a great deal for these awesome tires imo.

These tires are seriously GREAT, I noticed the difference instantly once I drove off. They are quiet, real smooth and literally feels like your driving on air, it's really comfortable compared to the garbage generic Avon Tires I had prior. It was raining when I had them mounted and balanced so I was able to break them in the rain and I honestly felt safe, they have awesome grip. The next day we had a light snow shower during the morning on my way to work and it was able pass my second test. Dry surface once again feels great, no complaint at all about these tires. Overall, I'm real satisfied and happy about these Coopers. If you guys are looking for reliable and cheap tires for all seaons, these are your best bet.

The sun finally decided to show its face today so I was able to wash the car and do a little photoshoot showing off the tires, enjoy.....























Had to add the nose and *** shot lol, thanks for looking.

Good photos!
It's good to see that they don't run narrow like a lot of tires do.

When my 275-40-17 Falken 452's wear out soon I will need to look at new sneaks, those look nice.
Nice SS it looks sharp, nothing like a set of matching tires.

I was originally going with the 452's but thought hard and realized I drive my car all year around including mild to severe winters so it was a good idea if I went all seasons for safety reasons. Maybe during the summer I'll grab some DR's w/ bigger wheels for the rear. Thanks for the compliment.

They look good. Nice tread, looks like they'll handle well even in wet conditions. Car looks sharp, my V6 camaro was that same color loved it.
