Michelin Pilot Sport A/S High Performance with ZP for me after 17,000 SHORT miles on the "summer" stockers on my Z51. Michelins offer longer life with an extended cruising season for less money, with less noise and outstanding handling. Can't beat that with a stick.

WIN WIN WIN WIN

If you got 17K on your GY Supercars, then you did good. Mine were very dangerous to drive after about 10K. Couldn't keep them from hydroplaning with the slightest rainfall on the higways. For safety sake, I changed to the Indy 500's, and never had any issues in the rain, and on one 4500 mile well documented road trip, we drove in rain almost every day, and some were monsoon type rains. The car never waivered on any wet highway.
That's why I'm not sure if I want to go with the Firestone RF, or stay with the Indy's. I know the Indy's are quiet, good handling and great in wet conditions.

I had BFG's on my C5 and they were Very noisy. Firestone RFT on my C6 -- -very good tires and lasting 30k or so

x2! LOVE my Invos. I paid $1400 for a set for my GS...I think for the base model, there something like $800-$900. What a bargain! Get 'em, and never look back.

I am leaning towards Michelin Pilot Sport A/S + ZP FRONT $279.00 Rear $331.00 but the UTQG is high :500

I don't think you can go much wrong with michelin tires.

The UTQG is high on these tires , no grip, I like to stay under 300 for grip and turning !!

4SUMERZ

I don't autocross or anything of that sort, so I probably don't need the supergrip, but I must say that 1/2 worn GY Supercars were terrible in dry and wet conditions when I changed them out.
I wouldn't say that the Indy's have no grip, they are rated A which is 0.47g on wet asphalt compared to AA and 0.58G with the michelins. These UTGC tests are carried out on wet asphalt, and don't do turn tests etc on dry asphalt or dry concrete.

Traction Grades

UTQG Traction Grades are based on the tire's straight line wet coefficient of traction as the tire skids across the specified test surfaces. The UTQG traction test does not evaluate dry braking, dry cornering, wet cornering, or high speed hydroplaning resistance.

The Traction Grade is determined by installing properly inflated test tires on the instrumented axle of a "skid trailer." The skid trailer is pulled behind a truck at a constant 40 mph over wet asphalt and wet concrete test surfaces. Its brakes are momentarily locked and the axle sensors measure the tire's coefficient of friction (braking g forces) as it slides. Since this test evaluates a sliding tire at a constant 40 mph, it places more emphasis on the tire's tread compound and less emphasis on its tread design.

In 1997, the UTQG Traction Grades were revised to provide a new category of AA for the highest performing tires in addition to the earlier A, B and C grades. Previously the A grade had been the highest available and was awarded to tires that offered wet coefficients of traction above 0.47 g on asphalt and 0.35 g on concrete.

There is no question that Michelin pretty much leads in every category with comparable tires.
You will be making a great choice for your needs.

I bought these a few months ago and they are great tires. Very quiet and the ride is great. Perfect for spirited driving. I haven't put them through any 1g turns but they grip great merging or winding through twisty back roads. I don't track my car but if you do you probably shouldn't be running an A/S tire anyway.

Running Michelin Pilot Super Sports---Awesome!

Yep.

Im running the crappy soft flexing sidewalled Invos. Never again.

I put a set of Michelin Pilot Sport AS Run Flats on my C6. I don't race or even drive fast. The ride is better than the stock GY's.

Thanks Bob !!

Any other tire, will ride better than the GY F1 Supercars. They have to be the worst tires in the world.

JohnsC5

I had these on my C5. Great tire, mileage, and price. Non run flats, low noise and good ride quality. Will probably replace the GYs on my 13 with them when they wear out (which won't be too long from the posts I've read).
