How much did you pay for your MPSS?
I'm having new Michelin Pilot Super Sports put on my Z this week. The best price I could find is $2,325 out the door (local sales tax is 8.15%) from a local shop I've used for maintenance on my other vehicles. The price seems pretty good to me. I'm curious how this matches up with others' deals and whether I can squeeze them down a bit. They claim this is their absolute best price.
By the way, the price includes road force balancing.

$2094.00 total
Tire rack is 1852.00
Shipping 62.00
outside source mount and bal 180.00
I didn't pay tax
Americas Tire would match price, no shipping fee but add tax.
edit : Tire rack is in Nevada, so they will charge you tax. AND if I bought my tires at America tire the mount/bal would have been $60.00 not $180.

Just a thought. But I went with Non runflat Michelin SS.
You get full tread instead of 7/32's.
Smoother ride longer wear. Little bit less noise for about 1500.00
for all 4. I used 275/19 and 325 /20
Very slight shorter of .2 inch but slightly wider rear thread.
I ran them on the ZR1 as well as My 2015 Z06.
Best tire choice IMO!

Thanks. Do you track your car? I do a couple HPDE's a year. I'm wondering how the non-run flats hold up.

I would say pass on the SS or MPSS for the track.
I would have a set for just track duty if it were me.
For the street use these are way better. IMO
They actually come with full tread and are not a hazard on wet roads.
A lot better wear.

I just replaced my fronts MPSS in the original size for $975.00 tax, tag and title as they say. Lol My local speed shop guy always takes good care of me and anyone else I refer to them. I get nothing for doing it other than trying to help out with a fellow enthusiast. Let me know if you want his number. He just sold another member on the forum some drag radials that everyone else said that they could get, but fell short when the guy was ready to buy. He keeps a few different sets and sizes in stock just to make available to any fellow Corvette owners.

I am selling a brand new set of rear MPSS OEM runflats for $800 plus shipping and working with buyer on the shipping. New, never installed.

No offense, but for someone who claims so much experience, you don't seem to understand tire sizing. This is the second time I've seen you list tires sizes without the aspect ratio.
He asked you if you had 275/30/19 and 325/25/20 and you said "Nope"?
Go check your tires, front and back. Or better yet post a picture of the sidewall where the tire size is, and post here. I'm pretty sure those are the sizes you have.
(HINT: The numbers go like this: tire width/aspect ratio/wheel diameter)When you list your tire size, please include all 3 numbers, not simply the section width and wheel diameter. Aspect ratio is kind of important
Sometimes people will only state the first 2 numbers (width and aspect ratio) in situations where the wheel size is known, but you shouldn't list only the width and wheel diameter, generally speaking.

The Non runflat SS is the better rubber for the Corvette
Hint I was using these tires before you knew they existed! Could care less and hope you actually buy the wrong size you and C7 z06 man.
Certainly not going out of my way to help you two!
