If I remember there is someone here that is on the production line?

Now that GM is now checking in here answering must take that into account for obvious employment reasons.

I was wondering if the SN3 spare wheel and the QSB spare tire are actually the production front wheel/tire as on the car or a generic aluminum wheel and spare tire combo as the sizes are the same as the front wheels/tire???

I was thinking since summer tires are not good here in the northeast, a viable option for 'everyday' driving and rotating could possibly be 4 front wheels and a set of michelin all weather HP tires. The tire diameters/rotations per mile are so close and the difference is only the extra width on the rear. I don't think it would mess up the computer algorithms and throw a warning/code but I'll email a GM engineer I know and see if he can come up with an answer but its hard because of the lawyers!

Thanks.

Thanks in advance.

One could always pick up a used wheel and tire combo from a G8 on the cheap. A 19" with tire fits just fine in the spare tire hole. I use one of my factory curb-checked 19" for spare duty.

Yes but it won't clear the Brembo's on the front of the SS.
You would need to run a GXP wheel, Camaro SS wheel, or a CTS -V wheel or an aftermarket wheel.

Remember the SS has almost exactly the same drive train and brakes as the GXP's did.

Great point! Thanks for bringing that up.

Tire patch kit and small scissor jack and tools in the back. Having roadside assistance also helps.

Weight savings! hehe
