Michelin Pilot Sport AS ZP on mine. No matter what tire you decide on it will be a remarkable improvement on the Goodyear EMTs. Good luck on your decision!!!!

Replaced mine with Goodyear EMTs. So far they quiet and smooth running. For me it's all about looking good and security. IMO no other tire looks as good on the C5 and offers as much security.
Good luck on what ever you go with.
