I am runnng the MPSS tires on my 08Z. It's a car that's used mostly as a road tripper / GT car and for this type of use, they are fantastic. Grip is great, road noise is minimal, they cushion the ride and absorb bumps better and wear very well. Can't go wrong with them.

I just bought the Michelin Pilot Sport SS 285/35/18 and the Michelin Sport Cup II's 345/35/19... do not have them installed yet as I am picking up some Comp Gray wheels next week. I'll tell you this...They sure do look nice!!!!

I am going the same route, except that I am looking for some polished Spyder wheels.

I've been running the Bridgestone RE050A run flats for the past six years(almost 40,000 miles) and am very happy with them. They are age hardened so they don't have the traction they use to have when new or not as quiet.
I'm ready for some new tires, but I won't be driving my Z06 on the long road trips anymore, so I'm thinking about going with the Michelin Pilot Super Sports(non run flat), and not be concerned about having a flat in the wilderness out west. I won't be putting near the miles on my Z06 as I was, so some decrease in tread mileage won't be a factor. They will age out(as I will) before they wear out.
We have a new Discount Tire store now in town, and a set of the Michelin's are $1132(incl M&B) plus tax, and the Bridgestone run flats are $1568(incl M&B) plus sales tax.
I'll use the $436 savings for new GM tire pressure sensors(mine are now nine years old) an still have some money left over for gas.
