[QUOTE="Vanguard2001, post: 262047, member: 4459"] I use Michelin Alpin PA4's all around starting in mid-November. They provide excellent traction in snow and slush while being good on ice. I swap the standard 19F/20R wheels to 18/19 for winter use to provide a higher profile and a bit more cushioning on the inevitable potholes. They are a straight swap on a Stingray but require 1.25" spacers on the GS/Z06 to clear the calipers. As a bonus, the Alpin PA4's are quieter on the highway than the run flat summer Michelin Pilot Super Sport. Once my summer tires are done, I intend to replace with Michelin Pilot Sport All Season for a much more practical summer street tire and I can push them into mid-December before swapping out for the Alpin's. The all seasons are strongly recommended by the instructor team at the Ron Fellows Corvette Driving School. [/QUOTE]
