C7 Z06 All Season Tire
While out at both Bloomington Gold and Carlisle this year I heard talk of an all-season tire compound being developed for the C7 Z06. I was told that the collaboration between GM and Michelin should result in a tire being available by winter. Has anybody heard anything about this. Winter is fast approaching and I want to do something so I can use my car in cold weather.

There was a person here on the forum that said he worked with Tire Rack and found an all-weather tire setup that would work for the Z06/Grand Sport. Probably slightly different sizes and not run-flats, but better than nothing.
Don't remember which category the post was in, perhaps a search will turn it up.

Thanks for the response Jay. I searched not only the forum but the web also and found a couple of possible solutions. I was really hoping for something that was approved by GM.
I have a 2016 Z06 with 7K miles on it. Before I swap the tires I want to make sure that whatever I do won't cause other problems down the line.

As long as you stay with similar size tires, you should not have any problems down the road. The auto manufacture really doesn't care what brand tire you use after you buy the car. If you are waiting for GM to approve something, you might be in for a very long wait.

Michelin has been claiming to offer the AS/3's in Z06 sizes for almost a year now. If they are now available I'm not aware of it. I have seen some Z06's with Continental's on them and everyone that has them have said that they were happy with them. Also I daily drive mine and have never had a problem with the regular MPSS's. Just don't do anything agressive and you will be fine. The colder it is, the easier they spin.

I read that Michelin is coming out with the Pilot Super Sport 4S (or something like that) which will be a hi performance all season in Spring of 17 in the US. Can't say if it will be a run flat or not.
