Those would be the ones. Myself along with a lot of others on this forum run those on their C6's. Good value; Better treadwear than Z51 Supercar tires; lower road noise than supercars; slightly lower performance capabilities than Supercars.
Many on the forum prefer a non-runflat for even better performance and some other benefits, but I prefer the (somewhat) safety-net of the runflat.
