only summer tires?

Now I know tha this car will not be a daily driver for everyone, but for me it will be. Just like my 99 ss I drove everyday from the day I bought it, ok on really nice days I woudl ride my harley. But for the most part I drove the camaro. I live in colorado and we get some snow every once in a while in the winter. For that reason I wish they would have or would give us a tire chose for all season tires. Just for us people that live in places where we have seasons and its not summer all year.

unless you're getting the 18" rims, i don't see an all season tire on a 19 or 20" rim being worth much in the winter anyway.

The tire chosen by Chevrolet for the Camaro all-season tire was for a very particular reason, and that reason was because testing concluded that it performed to a level of 80% of a full-on snow tire.

I'm confused then. Do you mean that there IS an all-season tire offered on all size rims, and not just a "summer tire"?

Yes, there will be an all-season tire available, but I don't think on all size wheels.
