How we ranked these tires for the chevrolet camaro
We started with the latest model-year's OEM tire size; 245/50R18; and filtered our catalog of 22,000+ tires to those offered in that exact size. From there, four parallel rankings:
- Best all-season ranks on a weighted score: tire type matches passenger car segment, season is "all-season", premium brand bonus (Michelin / Continental / Bridgestone / Pirelli / Goodyear / Nokian).
- Best budget ranks on cost-per-warranty-mile; the lower the better. Premium brands get no bonus here.
- Best quiet ranks on the EU tire-label dB rating; lower is quieter.
- Best winter filters to tires marked 3PMSF severe-snow rated or all-weather class, with a small premium-brand bonus because winter-compound R&D is capital-intensive.
For sedans and compacts, the all-season touring tire below is the best default; long warranty, low cabin noise, reasonable cost per mile. Switch to the quiet pick if highway droning is a deal-breaker; switch to the winter pick if you see significant snow each year. Use the side-by-side comparison above to weigh the trade-offs against your specific driving; highway-heavy, winter-state, performance-oriented, or budget-constrained.

MADE A TURN IN RAIN GOING APPROX 10 MPH AND CAR SLID. LUCKILY NO ACCIDENT, HOWEVER IT IS UTTER NONSENSE TO SELL AN AUTOMOBILE IN THE NORTHEAST WITH SUMMER TIRES ONLY AND THEN OFFER ALL WEATHER TIRES AND RIMS AS A $1000.00 AFTER MARKET OPTION. I FEEL THIS IS UNSAFE and LETHAL TO THE DRIVER AND ALL OCCUPANTS. I BELIEVE THAT CHEVY SHOULD BE SELLING THE CAR WITH ALL WEATHER TIRES (SAFETY FIRST) AND THE SUMMER TIRES AS AN OPTION. I FEEL THAT PAYING $45,000.00 FOR A VEHICLE IT SHOULD BE SAFE. I FEEL THAT THERE WILL BE MANY ACCIDENTS TO COME AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW "DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE" TO GET THIS INVESTIGATED. I FEEL CHEVY SHOULD RECALL ALL AUTOS WITH THESE SUMMER TIRES AND REPLACE THEM WITH ALL WEATHER OR AT LEAST HAVE THE OWNER SIGH A WAIVER.
2014 CHEVROLET CAMARO. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO ELECTRICAL ISSUES AND DEALERSHIP REFUSAL TO SERVICE VEHICLE AND REFUSAL TO REFUND MONEY. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. A MINUTE LATER, THE TIRE EXPLODED. ALSO, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT ILLUMINATED FOR A SECOND TIME.
THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET CAMARO EQUIPPED WITH PIRELLI P0 PROFEO R (NA) TIRES, SIZE: 305/30R19 (NA). WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED, ALL FOUR TIRES EXHIBITED SMALL CRACKS AND THE TIRE SPECIFICATIONS WERE NOT MET BY THE MANUFACTURER. THE TIRES WERE NOT REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE TIRE AND VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 124.
COMPLETE SIDEWALL (360 DEGREES AROUND) SEPARATED FROM TIRE TREAD AT NORMAL DRIVING SPEED CAUSING IMMEDIATE AND DANGEROUS BLOWOUT. TIRES MAINTAINED AT CORRECT TIRE PRESSURE WITH APPROX. 22,000 MILES OF USE. TIRE WAS NEVER REPAIRED OR DAMAGED BEFORE BLOWOUT. VEHICLE USED FOR NORMAL PASSENGER USE. THIS APPEARS TO BE THE SAME EXACT FAILURE AS THE BRIDGESTONE/FIRESTONE WILDERNESS TIRE. NO MENTION HAS BEEN MADE ABOUT THE SIZE 245/50/16 POTENZA, BUT THE FAILURE LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE THE DAMAGE SEEN ON THE RECALLED WILDERNESS. FOR SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS, HAVE REPLACED ALL 4 POTENZA TIRES W/DUNLOPS. KEPT DAMAGED TIRE AND 2 OTHERS. HAVE PICTURES OF DAMAGED TIRE. AM CONCERNED THAT A LARGER SAFETY PROBLEM WITH OTHER BRIDGESTONE/FIRESTONE TIRES exists.*AK (TIRESIZE: 245/50/16)
