Tire observations

Well I couldn't squeeze much more out of the stock F1's, they were looking like cheater slicks. I shopped around and to my surprise the local Chevy dealer had the lowest prices for some Micheline Pilot Sports.
Initial feelings, the Pilots are quieter, stick the road very well once warmed up and corner quite well.
I almost went with the Firestones but the price the dealer had the Pilots for I just couldn't pass it up.

I, personally, can't see paying what it costs to maintain a Z06 and using Firestone's to keep the cost a little lower. Z06 is about performance (afterall, you have sacrificed the targa roof and the convertible top).

Pretty interesting that your local dealer had the best prices, but obviously good for you!
