the new run flat pss is able to pull some spectacular G numbers. i've seen peaks of 1.17g in some of the c7 tests. it's michelins newest pilot super sport which is just an outstanding performance tire, i have a set of the non run flat version in my garage for the z06. they are basically a hard compound grooved intermediate slick with a couple of sipes

the pilot sport as being talked about here is an all season commuter tire....and really probably a great choice for the OP based on what we've heard.

I replaced my tires on my 02 with 5k on them this spring. They looked like new but better safe than sorry.
