Does anyone recommed a tire option (other than factory) for a 11/Z06, mine have 13,000 on them and I am shopping around for new ones.
I saw Manny today at the Autoshow and I will be going with the Michelin Pilot Super Sports--non runflat. He just put a set on his C5 bad boy .....Way better than the Goodyear runflats. Ride quality is way better and the road noise it cut down
Peter, I'm very tempted to go that route when I need a new set. I find my G/Years very noisy and have heard the Michelins are much quieter.
Price will be lower too on the non runflats.

I'm in a totally different situation where I travel long distances and a lot at night that's why I stay with run flats .I also prefer Michelin's but I bought all season ,they work well on unplowed roads
Having driven probably 150,000 miles in both C5's and C6's I can understand those who go away from the run Flats and their reasoning is ligit in most cases .I would recommend no matter what you do keep your old tires as spares .If you have a bad tire failure chances are your local tire store won't have your brand ,tread design and size in stock .
Ya also need to ask yourself what if ? If your out on some logging road 75 miles from the nearest house and run over an elk horn punching a 2 inch hole on the inside sidewall --whats your plan ?Oh and your surround by hungry bears
Absolutely CAA is a good idea ,actually it's a must .My concern would be once it's on the hauler whats next IF the tire can't be repaired .Lol, sounds like time to bend over and kiss yourself goodbye.
Good point on major failures tho. CAA would come in handy, tho time might be a factor.

True but I've seen runflats that could or shouldn't be repaired .The Michelin RF's only had about 50 miles of life ,might be more now and the GY's had 200 miles.The you'd be saying "why the F did I not buy r/flats.
Ely you need to pick your travel destinations and vehicles, more carefully.
Logging road 75 miles from nowhere. What the hell are you doing in the Vett?Take the truck on that day.
Stay out of the Jane & finch area late at night.Take the armored car for that trip.
I like that you use your vettes. They are meant to be driven.
