Default New tires

Had new Michelin ZP A/S + 3's put on the Corvette Yesterday, what a difference from the Goodyears. ALOT quieter, better ride and no more wheel spin!
Should have done this 3 years ago when I bought the car.

As everyone learns in due time running OEM Goodyears, there are much improved and superior tires on the market than are improvements in all facets over the Goodyear tires. It took me 6 months to figure out that the F1 supercars were crap!

Part (how big?) is new vs. worn. I like my A/S 3+, but they will get more slippery with time/mileage. I never found the previous gen to get noisy though. They're a good choice for a DD. Track car or garage queen, different answer.
