Tire Replacement
Last year I purchased a stock 2008 convertable with Z51 pkg and stock EMT Goodyear tires. Just turned 17,000 miles and noticed it's time to replace tires already. Should I go with the Goodyears again or Michelin Pilots that have good reviews on the tire dealer sites?

I liked the Supercar EMTs, but went with the Pilot Sport PS2 ZP (runflats). They are at least as good as if not better than the Supercars I had on my '08 Z51 convertible.

You might want to also consider the Firestone Firehawk Wide Ovals which are runflats. I replaced by GY Supercars with these and absolutely love them. Do a search as others have done the same as I did and really like the Firestones which also come at a cheaper price than Gys.

2 sets of GY Supercars here before I got smart and got the PS2 ZPs; the Michelins are a much better tire.

Anything is an improvement over the stock EMT Goodyear tires and will make a huge difference.
