My tires have the DOT code starting with 4M which means made in Greenville, SC. The code was changed last year to 14M as NTHSA added a digit to the manufacturer code.

They cost me $1400 for a set of 18/19 runflats for my C6. So the guess of ~$2000 seems to be a close estimate for the 19/20s.

I definitely will be getting those as they should also last longer than the super sport summer tires.

The Michelin Pilot Sport AS 3+ are not run-flat tires.
They are an upgraded version of the AS 3's.
What is coming out end of October is the rear Z51 size in the AS 3+ tire.

Hello Elmer,
Regarding your email stating:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have heard rumors of you folks to produce an A/S run flat tire for the Corvette 19/20" tire size for the Corvette. We first heard late 2015, then summer 2016. Are there ANY plans to produce the A/S tire in a Zero pressure option sized P245/35ZR19 and P285/30ZR20 and if yes, when?
Thanks
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
We do have a plan to offer an All Season tire in both of these sizes as well as being a run flat called the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+.
Our projected release dates for both sizes are October of this year (2016). We don't have a specific date it will be released but keep in mind that this date is a projected one. The actual date would be subject to change in either direction.

Hello Elmer,
As stated in the previous email, we do plan to launch the A/S 3+ tire in both of the listed sizes and both in ZP or Run Flat in October 2016. The link was sent as a generic one so you could see details about the tire mentioned because the new ZP sizes will not be listed on the site as available until their release later this year.
In short, we are planning to launch the Pilot A/S 3+ in both 245/35ZR19 ZP and 285/30ZR20 ZP in October 2016.

not that it matters to me since I have an A* but why do you say that. When I ordered it on tirerack today they did not ask me if it was a manual or 7spd. If you are going to make a assertion back it up
