Got New Tires

A couple weeks ago I had asked about tires for my 04 Vette. Got a lot of responses and good advice. Yesterday I purchased the Michelin ZP Pilot Sport A/S Plus. They look great, quiet, and the car rides really well.
Thanks again for all your suggestions.

Michelin makes very good tires. Those should serve you well.

Forgot to mention, I believe a set of these tires retail for around 1,500.00
Michelin has a special price right now. 1,250.00 mounted and balanced.

I put the same tires on my car about 3 1/2 years ago. Ready to buy another set. I have been very pleased with the Michelins.

Same tires I put on my wifes '03. Great tires and peace of mind for me if she has a flat when it's 120 F here in the summer.

For ALL 4????

I was recently quoted ~$600 for just the rears by Discount here in my area in Oregon.

These are Michelin PS AS+, RUNFLATS we're talking about...

I had the same question. Those tires run about $1200-1300, with tax and installation, for all four.
