Both Michelin and Pirelli have winter tire options for the Grand Sport. Unfortunately, the Michelin option is sold out until next winter.

I live in the Chicago area and I was just out for a ride this morning. I have PILOT SPORT A/S 3+ ZP. They are great. 7 degrees today and great traction. I haven't been in deep snow yet, but it goes through light snow just fine.

That's awesome to hear. I have a set of the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ ZP on order with Luke at Tire Rack that I look forward to using from Fall - Winter - Spring.

What he said. My experience with the PS A/S 3+ ZP has been the same in Pittsburgh.

I've been blown away with how good the PA4s are on my Z06. I went through 4 inches of powder snow the other day no problem.
On clear roads the car was hooking up hard at the top of 2nd gear in 4 degree temperatures. Basically acceleration I've never felt in summer temps.
I haven't really felt any compromise vs the MPSS daily driving the car, but I can't say I've done any spirited driving or do I plan to on public roads. I don't think you will be disappointed with the PA4s.

Check out the Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4s, you won't be disappointed!
Cant bear storing her for 5-6 months up here in the NE just because it's cold, as long as there isn't snow/salt/ice.. I'll put some miles on
