Default tire upgrade

I'm sure this has been discussed before, but, I must have missed it.
Can Z06 size tires be put on "standard" C5 sized wheels? Any problems with performance or wear doing this. Last, what is a good non-run flat tire? Reducing road noise is a big concern.

:confused:

I need tires too. I have been researching this today. Do a search and you will learn quite a bit. Good luck. I am 99% settled on Kumho. Seems that the price/performance is hard to beat. ALthough open to opinions:cheers:
