No

Michelin has been talking about coming out with one for the last two years, but, AFAIK, they still haven't come up with one.

Z51 size Michelin A/S runflats are supposed to be announced this month and available in November.

Several threads on this...

I just got a quote from TireRack for the new A/S 3+ ZP which are the run flats for my '16 Z51 - not on website yet but found out thru chatting with rep. The Michelin product numbers are 19713 for fronts and 05262 for rears. So, I went to my local tire store and they couldn't find them yet in their system. They called their Michelin rep and confirmed that they'll be available to order November 5. Looks like they'll make it just in time for cold.

How did you get a quote for a tire that does not exist?

Weird that TireRack would quote me a price and give me Michelin product numbers on tires that don't exist. What's even weirder is that if you Google the Michelin part numbers, another online retailer pops up with the same tires.....must be a conspiracy!

The Michelin Pilot Sport AS3+ ZP is coming out in late October / early November in Corvette sizes. The ZP identifies the tire as a "Zero Pressure" or runflat version of the popular Pilot Sport AS3 +

I assume they are low profile and look good. I have close to 18,000 miles on my 2015 but I will keep using them until they wear out. Any Idea how many miles people are getting on these stock tires?

Yes, the sizes listed by Luke @ TireRack are the same as the OEM Z51 sizes, thus they have the same profile. I believe the base 18 and 19" sizes were already available.

How many miles you get on your OEM PSS ZPs are entirely dependent upon how you drive. The rears are usually worn out first, but it's possible to wear them out in under 10K miles or less, or you could get 15-20K miles or more.
