Also, go to http://www.tirerack.com/tires/SearchTires.jsp and type in that size tire. Select the type of tire, speed rating, etc and a list of manufacturers and specific tires will pop up.

There is no doubt that you are a little more limited in tire brand variety for replacement C5 Z06 o.e. sized tires as oppossed to the C5 Coupe and Vert. However, as listed above, there is more than a suitable number of brands available from which to choose from: Goodyear, Michelin, BFG's, Kumho's, and, Toyo's. Now, where tire sizing variety and availability become even more limited is when searching for a true "Plus I" tire size upgrade for the C5 Z06 of which there exist basically none.
