Goodyear Eagle RS-A all-season performance tires in P255/45R19 for the front and P295/40R20 for the rear.

19 inches in the front and 20 in the rear.

Those are bigazz tires. I wonder how long it will take to burn off a set of rear tires.

 

[Guest]

I hope they are not run-craps.

Here's an image from the Goodyear site. NOt the right size, but I would assume it's the same tread pattern.

From the Goodyear site:

Unique asymmetrical tread design

High traction, precise cornering, quiet ride

Aggressive shoulder tread blocks and wide lateral grooves

Confident handling in wet, dry or snow conditions

Speed rated from 112 MPH/180 KPH to over 149 MPH/240 KPH, depending on size

Driving highway speeds with confidence

Premium sidewall styling

The Tire Rack site shows a run flat version is available. Hmmm....

 

[Guest]

:cool Me like Goodyear.

It will probably be a run-flat though.

 

[Guest]

Surely there's enough room for a spare tire.:confused

 

[Guest]

At least Goodyears arent made in France. :cuss

 

[Guest]

Goodyear Eagle RS-A, eh? I'm not too fond of those tires. I had a set of those come stock on my ol Firebird. Those did not have quite enough grip for my driving style. Maybe they will work better on an SSR.

Yup, at least they are not made in France! I like Goodyears, and have them on all my vehicles.

Quality of the tire

The R-SA is an excellent tire, one of the best in its class. I used to work at a tire shop and we would put them on all of the city's police cars. They provide excellent handling and cornering at high speeds and you can not get them in a runflat.

Is it true that the SSR runs with no spare? :leaving

No Spare tire!

Is it true that the SSR runs with no spare? :leaving

It will have a kit in just like the Corvette ZO6 has. That's what the engineer told me when I talked to him! And the one he had didn't have a spare in the box or underneath!

Ron,

Where did you get the code status information from?
What is a 3400 ?

 

[kwhopper89]

Dream Cruise,

The number comes from VOMS. It's the Computer system that the dealers enter the order info into.

Mine too is coded the same - but with a build week of: 9/1/3...

This date has changed once after I placed my order... The code system details the progress of the order.

Per my dealer he'll know when it's done - being shipped etc...

Keith,

I'm familiar with the Vehicle Order Management System (VOMS) though I am not familiar with the code nor how to obtain one for an order. Thanks..

SSR Spare tire

I've been checking the electronic catalog for several months
now and GM finally has a separate listing for the SSR. We
used to look up parts under the Trailblazer headings. So,
the general is moving right along.

It's true--there is no spare tire. Behind the driver's seat is
a tire repair kit. There is a carrying case containing an air
compressor that works off the cig lighter, a bottle of stop leak,
a hose, valve, valve core extractor, and hose plug. So when
trouble strikes, you whip out the extractor, remove the valve
core, squirt in the stop leak, air up the tire and hope you don't
ruin one of those fat tires.

FYI--The bottle of stop leak carries a retail price of $52.00.

GM has released very few prices for SSR parts. There are part
numbers, but they haven't been set up yet.
