The reality is:
Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ are not run flat tires!
Your "opinions" does not change the facts!
FYI - Even the Pilot Sport 4's just released throughout Europe are not run flat tires either!

^^^^ I am lost, what makes your statement more true than others? Not saying you are right or wrong, just asking how you know. Maybe they are Run flats and the code is wrong

I just got my AS3+ ZP's today on my 2015 Z51. What great tires on the few miles I have driven them. Quieter on highway, softer over harsh bumps. Took off the OE tires with only 2000 miles. I found them terrible under 50 degrees. Today is in the 30s and I had the car in a 60 degree garage overnight, so my drive to the tire store wouldn't be too bad. Initial impression of the AS3+ZP is thumbs up. We'll see how warmer weather and more aggressive driving works out. But, I'm optimistic.

Here you go (for all the naysayers)
Michelin Pilot Sport AS3+ZP in Z51 sizes. The tires are RUN FLAT/ZERO PRESSURE/ETC.

Where have you been? The naysayers have been gone for awhile, but the rears were sold out in early November, and were only just due in today, per the link you posted. They still don't list the rears in stock.

My tire dealer in the Northeast has access to them. One correction on my post, I have a 2017 with 2000 miles, not 2015. I think we will find that as more owners jump on board with these pilot sport as3+ zp that they will become more easily available.

Haven't been anywhere, there were guys posting, questioning the EXISTANCE of the ZP version of the Pilot Sport All Season. That's all.

Yes, there were naysayers up until October, until they were actually listed on Tire Rack. Truth is, there wasn't nearly enough stock to meet demand. A few who ordered in Sept-Oct, actually got a set, but to date, the rear sizes haven't been available for the last 6 weeks. There are plenty of the front size in stock.
I gave up, cancelled my ZP order, and purchased the non-ZP version, along w/ a road side fix-a-flat kit. They are awesome tires!
Hopefully, the ZP's that were supposed to arrive on 12/9 did, and in sufficient quantities so that people can actually get a set before winter is over.
EDIT: I just checked the link you posted again, and the 12/9 date for the rears has now been changed to "special order," as opposed to "in stock." If they did receive more rears on 12/9, looks like they were all spoken for, and they are still out of stock.

Well that is pretty weird. Are you sure about those dates? I ordered on 11/7, and was told they were not available until 12/9 at the earliest.
#31
Yep, I actually looked at the receipt prior to posting. When I spoke with Tire Rack to place the order the rep located the tires in their Las Vegas warehouse and they were shipped from there.
#32
OK, could be an east/west coast stock difference. Mine were coming from their DL warehouse. I did cancel my order before you ordered yours because they told me 12/9 at the earliest, and I think a lot of people were irritated because they were listed as in stock when they were not.
Perhaps that caused them to start shipping from other warehouses. At any rate, I'm now happy to have the non-ZPs, and a little less unsprung weight. I'm used to driving BMWs and my Jaguar F-Type, neither of which had spares or ZPs, just a road-side fix-a-flat kit.
As of today, the rears are now listed as "special order" again, not "in stock."

I live 30 minutes from the DE warehouse but they did not have them as I wanted to pick them up to save on delivery but they were out of stock there. This is the reason the rep shipped them from Vegas. There were also coming in the Louisiana warehouse the next day but he could secure them in Vegas so that is where they came from.

My Chevy dealer has my A/S 3+ ZP's (run flats) in stock now. Scheduled to be installed on Wednesday. Too bad its supposed to snow that day.
