Love my New Tires
I put on a set of Michelin PS4S tires and I must say that these are the best tires I've ever owned. I contemplated trying the new Continental Extreme Sport but went with the PS4S and am glad I did.

When I bought my '07 in late 2013 I quickly replaced the GY's with Michelin Pilot Sports AS3's. Went from riding like a skate board to riding like a Caddy. Needless to say I am very happy with them.
Great choice on the Michelins!

What tires did you have on the car before the new Michelins? I still have my original GY's and I must say that they seem to s2ck.

Me too! Had the original GY RFs on it before these but all I can say after the change is WOW! Only had my baby out once since I put them on (weather in Colorado is schizo this time of year) but the improved ride AND handling was eye-watering!

I was thinking about going with the PS4S or PSS but I'm worried about winter storage in an unheated garage. Michelin has pretty strong warnings against it. Maybe I'll go with A/S 3+ instead. I hate the ride quality of the run flats!

I've yet to see anyone on this forum say anything good about the OEM GY tires. I found out on my 1200 mile drive home from the dealer, that changing out the GY's would be the first thing I did. I replaced them with over 1/2 thread remaining, that's how bad they were.
As anyone knows, they are rough riding, very noisy, and terrible in wet conditions.
Why any owner of a C6 would buy a new set of GY tires is beyond me.
There are so many threads about how they s*u*c*k* out loud, that it's just hard to comprehend staying with these tires.
Just about any other tire will be like night and day.

The A/S3+ was one of the tires i was looking at also for the all season but opted for the summer tire because Charlotte does not have much of a Winter. I was out in the rain on the highway on my way to work (Corvette is my DD) and ramping off of I485 onto I85 the grip was incredible, I scared myself a little but this is a real strong tire. Thanx Michelin.

What did you have on your car before? When I switched from the stock GY's and went to the Firestone rft's, it was a night and day difference....much better handling, a quieter and smoother ride. I have never regretted my choice of replacement tires.
