So with 24k miles the Goodyear run-flats are almost bald. Also, they totally suck in the rain. I am talking can't go 45 mph in the rain without hydroplaning bad. Took the car out to Colorado this summer and almost died every time it rained. Not doing that again! Would like to put a three season tires on, not a summer only (eyeing some MRR wheels next year and will put some Nittos on those).
Any suggestions?
Thank you.

Run flats are trash to begin with. Got rid of them off my C5 within first year.
I’m running the Continental DW extremes now. No issues in rain and they’re especially great in dry.
atturo az850
Stay away from Michelin pilot sports. I have them on my 2016 GT and they don't do well with heavy rain and aren't recommend below freezing temps. I have always liked Toyo, but Nitto was not bad either.
Which ones are you running - the Extreme Contact DWS 6 or the Sports?Quote:

You’ll want to go with the DWS if your gonna drive in winter. Mine are the DW only.
Not going to drive in winter. But next time I get caught in a torrential rain while driving through Nebraska I need to be able to keep the car on the road at 45.Quote:

Geoff, lots of guys run the atturos on challengers and chargers. I thought they were amazingly good, especially given the price point. No problem in rain, reasonably quiet, and I ran a 4.3 0-60 in my bone stock manual trans challenger with them. They hook very well for a non-drag radial. I must admit I did not do alot of hard cornering with them, so maybe there are some comments about that on camaro forums, etc.
Usa tire in utica stocks the atturos Hellcat guys use them
I would say BFG Comp 2 AS, last tire I would run would be some cheap tire like the atturo
Cheap tires equal more fun...
I have used the BFG KDW's on my Camaro the last 2 times. Great in the wet & dry.
Atturos get shit reviews on the diesel forums.
Might be ok on cars, but on heavy trucks, nope!
Has anyone run Nitto Motivo's? They seem to get pretty good reveiws and I have had really good luck with other Nitto tires in the past. The are pretty reasonable in price too.
Thank you.

Had a set on a fwd car. They seemed to attract nails/screws, but they performed good in the hot & cold wet weather up tp 65ish mph. Not entirely the best for mud/snow, but not horrible. I'd use them again.
Thank yo for the info. I am between these - because I always have like Nitto's - and The Continental DWS06. The only complaints Most of the online complaints on the Conti's are tire life, but everyone loves the wet handling. I am fine with a soft tire that handles well in the rain too.Quote:

wait atturos better than nittos??? what do the magazines reviews say compared to real world testing of our own lol
They actually don't make the Atturos in stock Camaro sizes. I did check. I know people up-size all the time, but for just driving to work and shit I am staying the stock size.

nitto nt555 g2 are another option for what you would like
That's my normal go-to summer tire, but I need something that is three season.Quote:
