Comparing Invos and Michellin Pilot Sport RFT's and sizes
Gentlemen,
First of all...thanks for the knowledgeable advice given in the past to me and other forum members. You are, collectively, a great bunch of guys!
OK...this has probably been discussed before re tire choices and sizes but please indulge a few questions:
1) I took delivery of a 2008 Z06 which of course comes equipped with 275/35-18 Goodyear Supercar EMT's on the front and 325/30-19 Goodyear Supercar EMT's on the back. I don't like these tires re noise, cold traction and harshenss. Now, referring to C6 Z06 owner experiencesbetween Nitto Invos and Michelin Pilot Sport Runflats, which of these has better qualities? ... re:
a) Ride
b) Dry Traction
c) Wet Traction
d) Cornering
e) Wear (I'm a high mileage driver, dirve about 80K mi a year, probably
35-40K a year in Vettes)
f) I assume tht the non runflat Invos are significantly less expensive
than the Michelin Pilot Sports (already have a Conti-Repair kit from
a previous C-6 which I equipped with non runflat Avons which
seemed to be a good bang for the buck but aren't available in Z
sizes which brings me to (2) ....
2) Both the Nitto Invos and Michelin Pilot Sport RFT's are availabale in the correct front tire size, 275/35-18 but only currently come in 345/30-19 rear tire sizes, i.e larger than the OE 325/30-19 size. I assume that the Z's computer will have to be reprogrammed for the difference , i.e., increase, in Rear Rolling Diameter to correctly input Traction Control, Stability Control and Speedometer. Is that right?

Guys, please let me know your thoughts/experiences.
Thanks and Merry Christmas,
