2020 C6 of the Year Finalist - Modified
In order, I've had Goodyears- pilot ss , nittos (2sets) and now I just ordered hankooks for $933 shipped to my door. 
For a DD I'd rank them the same as most guys here:
1-pilots
2- Nitto invos
3 Goodyear run flats.
I can't comment on hankooks yet since they aren't mounted yet.

Curious about the Hankooks.... and how they rank vs the others.
Also no one has mentioned the Bridgestone RE11s??

I just replaced the stock GY's with Bridgestone 960 AS Pole Position RFT's. They're much quieter and have far more steering response. Drove on the new NCM track in Bowling Green. They had great grip in the curves.

The hankooks have a higher treadwear so I'm curious how hard they will be in daily driving.

I have not tried any non-runflat tires,, but I replaced the Goodyear with the Pilot Sport A/S run flat and like them much better than the Goodyear, but recently switched to the Bridgestone Potenza RE9600 Pole Position Run Flat and I like them even better than the Michelin.. I would suppose the non-runflat pole position would be very good.
