Any all season tires for the C7?
Are there any all season tires that can be used on the C7? I have a 2018 Grand Sport and want to replace the existing summer only tires. Don't want the inconvenience of changing summer to winter tires, and then back to summer tires again every year.

Stay tuned, Michelin is scheduled to roll out their AS tires for the C7 GS/Z06 in the Fall of this year. I know that we've heard this before but the Michelin engineer for Corvette Racing made the statement at the Corvette Corral at Sebring in March.

OK - thanks for your prompt reply.

Best place to buy tires? tirerack? house of wheels?
or go to discount tire and have them match it, since you will need to mount/balance etc and they offer tire lifetime rotation/balance/patching.

People also heard that some high up person also made some statement at one point also. You can almost have a pick the square game to bet on when it will happen.

Fall is also what I have been told by Tirerack for GS/ZO6 sizes. House of Wheels doesn't sell tires. If Tirebuyer has what you need they're hard to beat. In the case of the AS 3+ ZP in Z51 size I just received, Discount Tire the best delivered price but Tirerack beat them so I bought from them.

I am satisfied with them...ride is quieter, front tire bump is gone, handling feels a little light. I don't track my Vette but, do drive at speed and aggressively.
I had 16,020 miles on the clock at change over.

Just purchased a set (4), stock size, Michelin, Pilot Sport A/S 3 Plus All Season, Run flat, from local Discount Tire store. We haggled a bit and their price beat others I checked with - I get the full warranty certificates also. Been dealing with Discount through 4 Vettes and my sweetee's cars. Had several repaired and three replaced.

If I may ask, ..what did a set of these run for at Discount Tire? I'm hoping someone makes a set of A/S Grand Sport/Z06 tires that are NON run flats! I'd rather carry a 12V air pump and plug kit (As I did with my C6 Vette) ... over everyday living with the harsh/noisy run flats.

The first year I had to mount and dismount tires. In year two I bought a second set of wheels, my all seasons are on my OEM Z51 wheels. When the summer run OEM tires wear out in another two years or so I’ll stay with the all seasons and sell the extra wheels (chrome Z06 from Florida Speed...highly rated!).
I was at a hand car wash last month. A Grand Sport convertible was in front of me. Had a nice chat with the owner while we waited. It was the first time he had his car out since last fall because of the tire issue. In almost two years of ownership, I’ve had about six snow (no driving) days.
