I have been asking the same questions that you are wondering about. I will be replacing the OEM G-Years on my C6 later this spring. Almost all of the threads that I have read about the FS Wide Oval rft's have been positive. I plan to wait until early May to find out more about the new Michelin A/S 3, but I suspect they will cost considerably more, both b/c they are Michelins, and because they will be a new tire model. If I was to get new tires today, I would go with the FS WO's.

I replaced my original goodyears with the Firestone wide oval run flats. Very happy with these tires, and will buy again. I have a Z51, and the Firestones are fairly sticky, very quiet, and wear at least 2X better than the gy tires. Most people who say negative things about the Firestones have not owned them IMO.

For the record, if I were doing track days I'd be looking at other tires. For the average person not tracking these tires are fine. I agree with your serious about performance statement if they are doing more than driving fast on the street and sliding around on a track trying to get a fast lap times.
