I agree. My 09 with z51performs,rides and drives much better with michilen ultra high performance all season runflats than it ever did with the super car tires. Thankfully with the coupe I can have max performance and a choice of tires, but runflats only for me
If you want high performance in the Summer, then by all means get Summer tires. If you want maximum performance on smooth surfaces such as tracks or parking lots, get a G/S, or better yet a Z06. If you want the best performance on everyday roads with bumpy curves, ruts, and washboard surfaces, and you want consistent traction year around, along with safety and security, get a base C6, preferably with the F55 optional suspension, and put all-season run-flat Michelins on it. It will provide performance far beyond what 95% of Corvette owners ever subject their cars to.
