Default PS2 advanced (for ZR-1) tire construction for C5's

How can I determine if the PS2 tires that I am buying for my 04 C5 Z06 have the same advacned PS2 design and construction (not size) as the tires on the ZR-1?

At one of the Corvette Corral presentations last summer, a Michelin engineer said that the advanced tire design and construction of the ZR-1 PS2's would be available in the future for other C6's and the C5

It appears that Michelin does not have a rear tire specifically for the C5. (See below) Maybe that means that they do not have the advanced tire construction of the ZR-1 for the C5 rears. For that matter, I am not sure that the front tire has the advanced ZR-1 PS2 construction.
