Here are your options for Z06 sizes :
Michelin Pilot Sport 2 - exceptional tire wet and dry- about $1800 set
Stock Goodyear F1 - OK tire price at or above Michelin. Waste of money
Nitto NT05 Extreme - great dry tire, not so great wet - $850 or so for a set
Bridgestone RE760 - very good all around wet/dry tire - about $850 set.
If you have the money, the Michelin PS2 is as good as it gets in stock Z06 sizes. If not, get the RE760 if you are ever in the rain. If a garage queen and only see dry, get the Nitto. Don't waste your money on the F1s.

Do you want Runflat's? Are you looking for a All Season tire or a dry season?
I have Conti Extreme Contact DW on my car (non runflat). 295's rear and 275's front (one size wider & 1 size Shorter then stock Fronts without any problems)
