Thumbs up Rear tire size

Who's hoping the large/small tire combo

275's on the front and 315's on the rear (at least for the top model!!)
would be my wish!!

I'm going to need to rotate tires.. I'd rather have wide meats at every corner of the same size.

Ditto, I want all the tread on the road I can get at every corner of the car, I'm looking for all around performace, not some "cool look" best suited for 1320!

The "cool Look" And "1320" Comment Doesn't Make Sense!! If The Wider Rear Tire Set Up Was Only For The Quarter Mile Or Just
A "look" Why Would The Zo6 Wear A Set Of Wide Meats On The Rear!! If The Top Of The Line Camaro Is Going To Have A Speculated 500+ Horse (i'm Hoping) It's Going To Need The Most

Again, car is to be "practical." Front/rear tire mismatch would not fit the practicality of the car. But yes, most supercars have the larger tire sizes for performance enhancement. But if you can afford a supercar (Z06 included) you just buy new tires more often.

now I know that it was just a concept but I highly doubt they will have sepperate width tires. The new spy shots that just came out show a 245/45/20 pirrelli pzero tire.

I'd like the see the LS3 car get 275/40/20"s as at least an option.

Pontiac G8 comes with P245/40R19 or P245/45R18

The camaro SHOULD come with a constant size tire to help reduce costs on replacing them by allowing them to be rotated properly. If you want otherwise, go aftermarket.

I really don't care what the Z06 has for a tire setup, wide tires (within reason) all around for maximum performance is what I want.

i know that i am probably the only one to saw this but i would like smaller tires on them for drifting cuz i really would like to see more muscle cars out thier liek mine drifting instead of those ****in rice rockets that have so little power they never have to play with the throttle.

315's still arent enough for 500+ hp.

and if they do come with the 245/45/20's, they are going to need to run 3.80+ gears in the rear end to barely MATCH the old 3.42 set up. And if it revs any higher, gearing will be that much worse.
