Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Runflats
It's time to replace the GoodYear runflats on my 2000 convertible. I'm seriously considering going with Michelin Pilot Sport A/S runflats because of all the great things people have to say about them on this forum. I'm not sure I'll like the look of the tire compared to the original GoodYears and can't find a good picture of how they look mounted. Does anyone have some pictures of their Michelin's mounted on the car? I would really appreciate it.
Thanks.
Thanks.

The look is a little different than the stock Goodyears because the Michelins have a built in rim protector that projects out about 1/8".
Go for it - you won't be sorry - in fact, now I think the Goodyears look funny.

Switching to the Michelins was one of the best things I've done other than buying the car. They run quiet, stay round, and the front is slightly larger diameter (like a 1/2") so no more scraping backing out of drive.

Ps A/s Zp
Have then on about 9 months and car still drives like it was NEW. Much better cornering and the ZPs are warranted by Michelin for 2 years or I believe 25% tread wear for road hazard at NO COST TO YOU. After that they are prorated. Got them at Discountiredirect for $1108 and that includes no charge UPS shipping. They are A/S (All Season) so are EVEN RATED for SNOW. My EMTs made the Vette feel like a toboggan or luge with just about 1/4" of snow even though they had very little treadwear. The PS ZPs have 3 different types of rubber in the tread. Go to Michelin website and download the warranty. Go for performance and safety not EL CHEAPO on your Vette.

The best thing you can do - 100% better then the stock Goodyears!
I just put on my second set .... got almost 80,000 highway miles from the last set
They are just great tires for the C5!
