Winter Tires
As much as I hate to admit it, winter will come.
C6 is not a DD but do drive it a lot. As long as roads are clean and dry want to keep it as an option in winter months. Don't get a lot of snow here, but does get cold. Close to getting new rims and Michelin PS2 ZP's. Literature says not for near freezing conditions. Any cold weather reviews? Thought about mounting something else on my polished alloys for winter use. Need reasonable handling and road noise. Any ideas?

If you don't get a lot of snow but are looking for a good tire that works well in the colder temps, take a look at the Goodyear Eagle F1 all seasons. I've got a pair up front on my C5 and they work terrific in the cold and even in light snow too.

We've got a spare set for winter with our C6, I was very impressed last winter how well they performed both in snow (Illinois) and on good (Florida) roads.

Drive my vette all year around, even in snow. When winter comes here's what I put:

Very happy, very good tires, but you may want to consider have two sets of rims to interchange the tires yourself.

I agree! I have the Pirelli Sottozeros as well. Great tire and ride. I keep an inflator and some plugs in the car, just in case.
