Yes been out since Sept 08. I replaced my worn out A/S ZPs with a set.
But for those interested in the direct competitor to the OEM F1 EMTs is the Michelin PS2 ZP, those are the OEM tire for '09 ZR1.

My '99 coupe that I bought a few weeks ago has new Goodyear F1 EMTs. These are the first runflats I've owned so have nothing to judge them by. Have no problem with them, though. Always expected a Corvette to ride a bit firm and either the stereo, wind or Borla exhaust drowns out any noise they may make.

to add to this...I'm wanting to go wider. I have stock Z06 wheels and would like to find a 315 tire in run-flat. Anyone know of any that are for daily driving? My experience has only been with the GY's. All good here. Just wish they ran a bit wider.

I have kept with the the OEM Goodyear's, on my third set. They have a wider tread than any other 275 size tire (even wider than the C5 ZO6 295 tire) so they look great, handle great (yes they do), get 3 mpg better mileage than non-runflats, and I get good life out of them (45,000 miles on rears and 55,000 miles on fronts). Ride and acceleration are not as good as with non-runflats, however.
I checked out a lot of C5s in Carlisle, Pennsylvania (at Corvettes at Carlisle) and most had OEMs on them.

This is our second set of Kuhmo run flats and we like them. Very good tread wear, decent ride (never used non-run flats so don't know what we're missing there), and probably one of the least expensive run flats for a c5. Got about 27K off the last set.
