The only problem with RFs on a C6 is the OEM runcraps, IMO. Replace them with either Michelin or Bridgestone RFs, and it's like night and day, and when you have a really bad day like this:

I haven't had any problems with the GTO spare on my C6. I've used in on both the front and rear at various speeds for about 10 miles to work and back and it does not cause any errors or messages. It rides a little differently from the normal tires but it works fine.
