Replacement tire recommendations
I have a 2014 Z51. Stock tires Michelin Pilot SuperSport ZPs
285\30ZR20 Rears
245\35ZR19 Fronts
They say 30k warranty ha-ha...I'm at 18k and the fronts, especially the insides, are totally done, with threads showing. The rears could go a little longer but pretty thin, (3-6\32's depending on where measured).
I do not race or autocross. Just regular driving. The roads where I am at are narrow and pretty twisty which is probably why the fronts wore so much. I enjoy getting on the gas throughout the curves but nothing crazy.
I don't drive in snow\ice at all and only occasionally in the rain. So a summer \ rain tire would be preferred.
I have the ZPs but it is not a requirement.
I am looking for replacement recommendations for general driving conditions.
I would like something that provides a little better mileage life than what these gave me.
I would like to keep the price reasonable.
Is it ok to replace just the front and not the rears at the same time? I hear people sometimes say that is not safe for some reason.
Should I stick with Michelins PSS, PS2, PS4s? I have not done an in-depth review of the differences yet.

#1 - You're asking about a C7 in the C6 forum.
#2 - A more neutral alignment would probably give you longer life on front tires.
#3 - Go to Tire Rack website, enter your vehicle info for tire recommendations. Then read the reviews of the top-rated tires.
