Replacement Tires
 
Anyone think these will look good on a Pace car SS?

There's nothing wrong with the tires on the car. We just thought we'd like these better. And we like the Nascar name on the tires.

I am a bit concerned about performance of these tires versus what's currently on the car.

they came out with the yellow marked Good year tires on them to begin with.
And like cowboy said just go get the yellow pen and do them your self. i always thought they looked great on them.

there is a gordon edition for sale here just out of town that was the one we wanted to begin with IT WAS SOOOOOOOOOOO HARD TO WALK AWAY FROM IT!!!!
but the house is more important right now:(:(

I've seen a lot of 6th gen Monte's with those Nascar tires. Mostly the special editions like the pace cars, signature series, etc...

I looked into buying a set of those for myself. But Goodyear only makes them in 16" now.

Don't know about the performance of those tires, but the Goodyear Eagle RS-A's that came factory on my Monte (and my previous car too) blow big-time! Replaced 'em with a set of Toyo Versado's about a month ago.

The Goodyear Eagle #1 are a performance tire. So I would guess that they do awesome on dry pavement, not so good on wet, horrible in snow. But that would be just my guess.

Use two sets one in the summer the other in the winter.

But............. I don't want the car to handle poorly either.

I think you'll be okay with 'em. But I would get some winter tires and rims. When the winter weather comes around, simply swap your current rims with the Nascar lettered tires, for some cheap winter rims with snow tires already mounted.
