Not sure about Michelin Web site, but I put on a set today on my 2016 Z Vert, have been waiting a long time to get these tires so I can drive the Z when the weather turns cold, or when I get caught in the rain . I am getting ready to take a 2000 mile trip at end of October, by then I will know how they perform.
I see the tirerack.com lists them as applicable/appropriate for my Z06. However the Michelin web site does not.
I wonder why?
BTW nice car, wheels, driveway and house!
Because someone at Michelin mistakenly omitted it. Obviously, the GS and Z06 AS3+ size is the same, because the OEM PSS tires on GS and Z06 are identical.
$1,326.20 mounted and balanced including sales tax. Road force balance is an additional $50. Since I don't drive a lot in the winter I did not get the warranty.
Levi indicated he will beat any other price and will provide the best deal available. He gave me a much lower price than I expected.
Interesting. Discount here in Austin wants $278 for fronts and $376 for rears. Cheaper than tire rack but that is $1308 just for tires (quoted today). Did you get them to match someone else's price or include one of their rebates?
Woke up this morning it is 44F and raining. The rears were OK last year during this kind of weather but they are scary now. Ditching them this week.
Got a set ordered for my 2017 GS thru Discount Tire. I'm excited as it's getting pretty cold for sport cup 2 tires. Indiana decided to skip fall and go straight from summer to winter.
I have a 2015 Z51 and like to drive in the winter also. I put on the A/S after the original tires wore out and have been happy with them. Unless you are tracking the car you will not notice too much difference. Levi put mine on too.

Rick,
The price was not a price match. There is an Indy Corvette Club here and this store offers a discount for members.

I got them for about the same price out the door ~$1340 but without road hazard coverage. I got a 10% discount because of the company I work for is very close to the discount tire store and is a big employer in the town I live in.
Simply stated....love them. What a difference in cool weather traction over cup2 tires especially in a straight line. You give up some front end bite and quickness in steering, but unless you're really driving thru twisties hard, won't notice. I have Z07 suspension and DSC controller and can tell ride is a bit better, but nothing dramatic I'd say. I have a very noisy bit of paved interstate near me. After my country twisty road romp...headed there next. I could tell a noticeable difference in sound, so that's good. I have installed the Exoticvette extreme sound deadening package so my overall cabin noise had already been dramatically decreased, but tires added more improvement. Overall, 1 drive in....very impressed with traction and will see how they handle in even colder temps. Test drive in low 50's this evening.
AS 3+ ZP...is the run flat (zero pressure) version. That's the version many opt for including myself since no spare. They are a harder sidewall tire so ride a bit harder and have a bit more road noise. Not sure the AS 3+ come in the GS/Z06 sizes as a non- run flat?
Got a set put on the Z06 today. It is in the 50-60's and raining (and flooding) here in Austin.
What a huge difference, as expected, in the wet. No more skating around on the PSS (non cup 2's). Originally the PSS's were OK in the cool/wet weather but as they aged they were down right scary. After I have a chance to get some dry miles on them I'll report back on my thoughts. I'm hoping I am happy with them for year round. If so, I'm never looking back to the PSS's. Additionally I'll be putting up some gently used (~4K) fronts that I bought before a road trip last month and 80% wore out rears for sale.
Update: I've had mine on for about 3 weeks now. 80F dry days and l0w 40's rainy days.
1. Wet traction is fantastic. You can actually stop and put power down with these tires.
2. Dry traction for daily commuting is the same. When I really get on the throttle they obviously don't have the same grip but its perfectly fine for a daily driver.
3. Went on a highway trip yesterday and I think the road noise is no worse but that is just my opinion.
Bottom line, these may very well be my year round tire unless I learn anything negative about them throughout the life of the tires.
