Best Tires for Chevy Camaro

Published by Rims & Tires

Compiled & checked by the site's publisher from manufacturer, NHTSA & USTMA data · Updated 2026-07-24

The Chevy Camaro was discontinued after the 2024 model year but remains on the road in massive numbers. Its tire options span a wide range — from budget all-season touring compounds on the base LT to competition-grade summer rubber on the ZL1. The right tire depends heavily on which Camaro you have.

Chevy Camaro tire sizes

6th gen LT, RS (2016-2024): 245/50R18 (LT base) or 245/40R20 square (RS Package) — non-staggered; staggered fitments start at SS.

6th gen SS (2016-2024): 245/40R20 front, 275/35R20 rear — slightly more aggressive stagger.

6th gen ZL1 (2017-2024): 285/30R20 front, 305/30R20 rear — wide staggered performance fitment.

5th gen (2010-2015): 245/45R20 front / 275/40R20 rear (RS, LT, SS), 285/35R20 front / 305/35R20 rear (ZL1).

Best tires — 5th gen Camaro (staggered 20-inch)

Continental ExtremeContact DWS06+ in 245/45R20 / 275/40R20: the best performance all-season for 5th gen Camaros on the 20-inch wheel package. Sharp dry and wet handling, available in the staggered 5th gen sizes.

6th gen LT (245/50R18) and RS (245/40R20) cars use a square, non-staggered fitment — a single matched set of four performance all-seasons like the DWS06+ covers them; confirm availability in your size.

Frequently asked

How much do Chevy Camaro tires cost?

LT/RS staggered set: $155–225 per tire front + $175–250 per tire rear. SS: $175–255 front + $195–275 rear. ZL1: $200–285 front + $230–310 rear. Full SS staggered set installed: $1,400–2,120.

How do I know when my Camaro needs new tires?

Watch the rears especially, since a rear-drive muscle car eats them faster than the fronts. Check the tread with a penny, and notice if the back end gets loose under throttle in the wet. On the staggered performance setups the fronts and rears wear at different rates, so look at each corner rather than assuming they're all the same.

Can I rotate the tires on my Camaro?

Only on the non-staggered cars. The base models with square fitments can rotate normally, which helps even out wear. The performance trims run wider rears than fronts, so those can't be rotated front to back, which is part of why the rears wear out sooner. A shop can tell you which setup you have.

Should I run summer or all-season tires on my Camaro?

Depends on whether it's a daily or a fair-weather toy. A base Camaro that sees year-round duty does fine on a performance all-season that handles our rain and the occasional cold morning. If you've got a performance model you drive hard in warm weather, summer tires are where the grip lives, just know they're not meant for cold pavement.

Where can I get Camaro tires installed near me in West Georgia?

We'll match you with a local shop in the Carrollton and West Georgia area that can order the Camaro's performance sizes, including the wider staggered rears on the performance models. Those sizes aren't always in stock, so a call ahead saves time. Getting matched is free, and you're working with a real local shop.
