For a new member this post seems natural...............
I will suggest you use the search tool and use the word "tire" and what model C7 you have.
That will make a difference.
There is a ton of info on the subject you are looking for and so for member to keep reposting the same onfo over and over, you are expected as a new member to do a bit of work on your own trying to find your answers.
Be aware there are as many opinions as there are members. So it's always better if your answers come from multiple posts rather than just listening to the member with the most posts.
Welcome to the forum........it can be a great place and an unfriendly place depending on many many things. If you love your Corvette, you're in the right place.

I don't know where you live, but the only good reason to purchase anything other than the OEM PSS ZP, which is the best in it's class (summer ultra-high-performance), is if you're going to be driving in temps below 50º and/or want one set of tires for year-round use.
If that is the case, the Michelin PS AS3+ is a superior all-season tire, also #1 in it's class (UHP all season), is very close in performance to the OEM PSS in warm weather, and is far superior to OEM below 50ºF. I have a set of each, and I have a hard time telling the difference in street use even in warm weather. In cooler/cold weather the AS3+ makes the PSS look very bad.

I know the OP is from 26 May and it's now 9 June, but FWIW, I just replaced the OEM Michelin tires on my 2016 Stingray with the same tire.
Unlike the Badyear runcraps that were on C6s and C5s, Chevy chose a great tire for the C7. Unless you are putting the car on the track or going for something more aggressive for the street (can't imagine why, but that's just me), then you can't go wrong just sticking with the tires that came with your car.
Just my two cents.

Michelin AS3+. I replaced my OEM run flats with these in a non run flat. Very happy with them..

Huh?
When he said "a tire" I thought he wanted to by a suit but then again I thought asphalt was a rectal concern......
