does anyone have experience with the stock/factory tires from gm in the camaro family (1-4th gen)? i plan to cruise a lot and make circuit driving a regular part of my life. i'm not sure if it's smarter to go with the cheapest factory rubber and then equip my 5th gen with specialty performance tires after the purchase, or go with the perfomance stuff from gm? does anybody have any thoughts??

:BangHead:
IMHO, you can probably live with the stock tires for "cruising" until you wear them out, then upgrade. As for "making circuit driving a regular part of your life", you might want to consider buying a set of performance wheels & tires specifically for road racing, autocrossing, or whatever it is that you plan to compete in on weekends. Then you can switch to them before heading out to the track or haul them out and put them on in the pit area, depending on how far away the track is.
You'll find that purpose made competition tires wear out rather quickly, as they have to be 'shaved' for optimum traction, and the rubber is much softer than hwy. tread and will scrub off rubber too quickly to drive them on the street.
Depending on how serious you plan to get with your "circuit driving", you have some decisions to make. Most serious weekend racers would never try to run the same tires on the street that are used on the track.
Good luck.
