general problems of the 2011 Chevrolet Camaro

Tl-the contact owns a 2011 Chevrolet Camaro race car equipped with toyo proxes tires, tire size: 245-45-r20 (serial number: mf82512) and tire size: 275-40-r20106y. The contact stated that while driving approximately 30 mph, the tires failed to grip and caused the contact to become involved in a crash. The tires were not replaced. The approximate failure mileage of the tires was 20 and the vehicle failure mileage was 44,495. Kmj.

Summer tires come standard with vehicle. Temperature 38 degrees tires loose all handling capabilities. Numerous other Camaro owners have lodged complaints and can be found on internet. These tires are dangerous.

Summer only tires sold as factory equipment on 2011 Camaro. These tires provided no traction when I was caught in a snowstorm on the way to work. In only 1 to 2 inches of snow I could barely maintain control at 11 mph while other cars passed me like I was sitting still. I find it painfully frustrating that in a country where I must wear a seatbelt "for my protection", that a car company can sell a vehicle with such dangerous tires.

The tires on my 2011 chevy Camaro (and other models) are perelli p-zero tires which are "summer" tires as indicated by the manufacturers. These tires are not recommended for near freezing temps. The auto manufacturer failed to inform me the tires (which are stock) are only recommended for warm weather. I believe the manufacturer has not informed most customers of the situation. My research indicates these tires exhibit more problems with handling in cold temps as tire wear increases. The manufacturer of the auto has indicated to me that their engineers are confident these tires are safe, but the tire manufacturer continues to recommend against using these tires in near freezing temps. As most of the continental USA is exposed to near freezing and below freezing temps, I am concerned these tires will result in crashes which could be avoided if the auto manufacturer provided proper tires for our climate. This is a problem which may go unnoticed as most accidents go un-investigated or an investigator will not consider the temps were near or below freezing at the time of the accident.

2011 Camaro tires do not grip the road properly & low temperatures like here in n. Y. During the winter months. I just purchased this vehicle & at no point was I told that the tires are for summer use only. This is my only vehicle & has to be used all year round. I did not think spending top dollar for a performance vehicle was going to mean that I could only operate it safely 8 months out of the year??? this vehicle was shipped to NY, to be sold in NY! why would this happen? the tires cannot be trusted & I fear it will cause someone there life.
