Default PS4 All Season ZP

So I just purchased the Michelin PS4 All Season ZP's. I have a 2010 GS auto trans. I can't say enough good things about these tires. Although they were $2K installed they are worth it! Less noise, far better ride, and they are all season, which means they should last more than 20,000 miles. I just traded in my 06 and it has the PS3 all season tires and they were great too. Since we all sometimes lose our good sense of judgement and smash the throttle down, spend the money for the best! These will probably fall short of satisfying the weekend racer, but other that that these are great.

New Michelin Pilot Sport AS4 ZP installed this morning at Discount Tire, purchased from Tire Rack (delivered yesterday morning - right on time). These replaced the original Goodyears (manufactured 11 &12 / 08) on my 09 Base Corvette. Tires and install just a little bit over $1.5K.

There was a very noticeable improvement in ride quality on my 43 mile return trip home. A couple miles of 4 lane and smooth at 70mph. The rest of drive was 2 lane with mostly poor pavement. More confidence inspiring on the many curves as well.

I bought my Corvette in August of 2021 as the third owner with a little over 5K miles on it. Although I致e been very happy with the car, I was always a little leery of pushing it too much with the age of the tires. The new Michelins have turned my enjoyment up to 11. I know there are other high quality tires available, but my initial experience with these tires is completely satisfied. Thank you to the forum members who shared their experiences and provided help.

First post in a few years and glad to have found the good reviews on the pilot Sport AS 4ZP. Its a little cheaper than the Super sport. I always go with run flats because I tend to drive a lot on the mountain back roads here in East TN. Hard to find a pull off spot there. Even with plug and pump it sounds too dangerous for me to tackle. I would think it safer on a long trip, especially highway miles with non run flats. I'd love to find a small donut. But then I'd have to find a jack that would work too, which seems near impossible. I wish there was a better solution. But its a small price and inconvenience to pay for such a fun car to drive. Off to the tire store for tires now. Thanks guys
