Just replaced mine
I had a flat on the back right rear so I went with the Michelin as3+ ZP. It's good I had the flat cuz when I went back to the tire dealer he showed me one of my front tires had the steel belt showing on the outside of the inside tire tread. I check the tires for wear but never spun them to check 360. Guess I will now. Only got 21,826 miles out of the original OEM tires. That's probably good compared to some who may hard.

I just installed Continental EXTREMECONTACT SPORT and love them, they are NOT run flat so take that into your decision... At 980 for Max Performance Summer installed it's hard to beat....

I see some folks like the Continentals, have read reviews on them but if anything I see in my opinion that can't compete with the michelins for the grip, sure I like the ride and I want to reduce the road noise some , need to take the original tires off and replace them with something a little quieter, little softer but more grip for sure. I dont want the run craps.
See this comparison in Tirerack, the Extremes don't fair too bad, and I was expecting to see a night and day difference in the Performance Data Section. Also just noticed the Conti Extremes are a direct OEM sized replacement for my Z06 (285/335)for half the cost, but with no RFT option. So question arises, how bad do I need RFT?
