2016 Chevrolet Camaro — tires or pads first for a beginner autocross season?

Owner notes beat generic advice here. On the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro in Tampa, I'd fix the thing you'll notice every day before chasing spec-sheet extras. Then you'll know the next fork. On “tires or pads first for a beginner,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Had a similar mess a couple years ago and that's what finally sorted it. This is the filter I use when the thread starts repeating itself. Wrote this up on my lunch break.

I'd keep this practical. Verify the cheap/easy branch on the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro before a big repair or a big spend. I'd do that before spending real money. Happy to compare notes if your setup is different. I'll update if anything new shows up.

Write down what you already tried. A second data point from another 2016 Chevrolet Camaro owner helps more than a generic diagnosis. Then you'll know the next fork. Learned this the expensive way on a previous car. Might be overthinking it, but I'd rather overthink than overspend.
