I am wondering if anyone with a C5 Z06 has gone from stock Good Year Supercar tires to Michelin PS2's. I need new tires, and bought the first replacement set as OEM tires, but thought I'd check out other tires this time around. I have PS2's on the Viper, and they are good, but I don't have a comparative basis between GY and Michelin tires on the Vette. I know there are cheaper tires out there, but my main goal is a street tire, with as much grip as possible, but the tires have to last more than 5k miles too. Neglecting wet traction as I don't drive it in the rain, which of these two do you recommend? Have you switched from GY Supercars (not runflats) to Michelins and what is your experience?

Get the PS2s.

Ditto! I went from Supercar's to PS2's.

Don't have a ZO6 either but have the Michelins and love them. Had real issues with Goodyear (noise and wear)

The PS2s are very good tires. Ran a set of them on my '00 for a while. No complaints at all.

PS2's without a doubt. I'll never go back to the Goodyears after having the Michelins!

I did in fact I went from the GY's to Nitto's 555R11's to the PS2's. For some reason the GY's always get a bad rap and I felt they were a real good tire. Although the PS2's are a little more polished, for instance a much more predictable tire, a bit quieter and though its to early to tell I think they are going to last a bit longer. I noticed once my GY's hit about 8,000 miles even with plenty of life in the tread they started to lose there performance ability. One very noticeable thing on the PS2's is when you first drive them in the cold their traction stinks the GY's were not as bad but they heat up real quick. My decision would be on the deal if you can get a killer deal on either of them you won't go wrong, I would change back with no problem.

Neither, to noisy and way to pricey.

Nitto Invo's, General Exclaims or Hankooks would me my choices.

I've had the PS2's for a couple of years. I really like them although the "protective rubber lip" sticks out beyond the wheel a bit more than I'd like.

If your worryed about noise and waer them you don't want performance the Gsd3 is a much better preformance tire. I have them on my vette and you will stick to the road wet or dry now if you want less ware and not as good traction p2 is you tire I've had both
and like the Goodyear better most even better with a beefed up suspension. only an opinion

MYTTZ06

Thanks for all your replies. I am really in need of a good, dry traction tire. The turbos necessitate the best traction tire I can get without spending $500 a tire...

Unfortunately Goodyear no longer makes the GS-D3's in Z06 sizes. The largest rear is a 285/18. From all I've read the PS2 will outperform the Goodyear Supercar F1.

If you can afford them, the PS2s are pretty much the best all-around tire you can get.

PS2's hands down.

Yep, I read some tire reviews on Tire Rack, and a lot of people liked the GY GS D3's, but it sounded like they preferred it more because of comfort and noise levels. I only found one negative review the PS2's, and everyone else really liked it. Also, someone else had a good point: Hopefully, there's a performance reason why the ZR1 is using Michelins instead of GY's now. I just priced the PS2's at Costco and it was $277 for each front tire, and $442 for each rear, which isn't vastly different than about $305/$350 for GY's. So, I'll give it a try, and provide feedback later. Thanks!

That is what keeps me from buying them!

I've read a lot of reviews, and the PS2 always seems to come out on top. One particular review in Vette magazine compared the C6Z OE Goodyears to the new PS2 ZP. The PS2 ZP toasted the Goodyears. From what I've read, that IS precisely the reason the ZR1 (and the Caddy CTS-V) run the Michelins.
