    Merry Christmas to all! I have 2017 SS and live North of Pittsburgh. Driving around were I live, being easy on the car my mpg range is 26 to 28. On a trip to Delaware were my daughter lives, my mpg will be anywhere from 29 to 34. The only thing I have done is CAI. I know I am not the fastest car on the road but when I need or use the power the car has I am excited. I love the camaro! I like the fuel economy. I dont do any racing, just enjoy what I got. Keep up the great videos!

    I'm a recent subscriber and and I like the fact that you're in NY. I rarely see videos from my hometown... usually videos are from Texas, Cali, and other places that don't have NY winters. I'm a Vet and I Love my Country, it's just good to see videos from the northeast. All of this to ask a question: Do you guys still have summer tires on your wheels, and if so, do they ever get a chance to warm up in city traffic? I live in DC now and I usually only drive my Camaro when it's above 45 degrees or so. Even then I'll have to get out on 95 for a bit before my tires get to normal temps. When those summer tires are cold it's almost like driving on ice! When I had my 2014 SS I would put my all season wheels and tires on in the winter just in case I wanted to step out there. I got this zl1 in Sept and winter is here already. I think that I'll just drive on warmer days until Spring. I know I'm rambling on and on but no one my house will talk to me about cars and my Camaro addiction!!! :-)
    I'm just curious about the tire situation... thanks for the channel.

    • @MotorFire
      @MotorFire  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for showing love to the channel. To be honest I drive so little that the car barely gets a chance to warm up itself let alone the tires. Summer tires I keep on the car because it does me just fine and I barely have a commute. When I had the smaller wheels that weren't as wide I put all season continentals on because that's my favorite tire and it works great. Hope that helps and thanks again for showing love to the channel and subscribing 🙏
