Absolute Dearth of All-Season Tires for CT5-V Blackwing

[RDATLTE]

I thought the BW came with ZP tires. Is this not correct?

Also, my understanding is that the spec BW tire just has a little bit of foam in it, which makes it a little more quiet than a regular PS4S. Big whoop. No performance advantage.

That is not correct.

Unsure of the foam. Sure of the hybrid compound.

Couple photos of TPC code on my 2024 5BW OEM tires PS4S. (ok yep..no run flats).
That front 275 says "acoustic" (whuts that? foam?), didn't see acoustic on rears. I'll look again, want to see what my DOT codes are..for the log book.
ooops, time to scrub and dress these!

In the same boat here - really need to locate all weather tires. Where are you GM/Cadillac?

Thanks for the correction.

The reason I say that is, I've been running all seasons for the past 5 years. Prior to living in the high desert, I lived in Southern California for 30 years, and before that, Michigan.

In my experience, all-seasons work for their intended purpose, but there is a significant sacrifice - in EVERY season - mainly traction, whenever you actually need it.

I have run what are considered to be the top two "Ultra-High Peformance All-Season" tires out there - the Contis and the Michelins. Both exhibit this characteristic.

I'm not saying DON'T run all-seasons. I mean, I do right now. But for a performance sedan, they pretty much suck, because I have to drive at the limits of the tire - I can't drive at the limits of the car.

The car I have now (my BW goes into production this week or next) is a RWD sedan powered by an LS3 (415 HP/415 TQ) through a 6-speed auto. It is relatively mild compared to a BW.

It is disappointing enough having to drive this car at the limits of its tires... there is absolutely no way I am going to do the same thing in a Blackwing. May as well just save $100K and stick with what I have.

When my BW comes in I am going to rip off the stock run-flats and get PS4S in 275/325 for the summer. Then a set of performance winters (or perhaps all-seasons) on different wheels for when it gets cold.

All fine and good but needing something that can get me through my winter requirements along with being able to roadtrip out west to where it gets well above safe temps on winter, I have a requirement that I can't get around. At this rate I'll end up with a second set of wheels/tires for summer, but all seasons are my requirement that I need for winter.

So we're back to the original part of what are the best options to do for running all seasons on this car?

If you've read the post, you know they don't make any.

If you've read the post, you pretty much know the options.

If you've read the post, you know I am the OP. So I get it.

Sorry there's not a better answer.
