I wonder if you can replace with SS instead of the Sport Cups on the new GS? Spending $2500 every 15k is not good.

Me too. 2012 Corvette Convertible and 2015 Stingray Convertible. Keep them properly inflated, avoid hard starts, burn outs (God Forbid), and hard stops and you should get 25 to 35,000 smiles out of the OEM Michelins.
