How many miles did you get out of your OEM tires before you replaced them?
Did you put the same tires back on?

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. GM and Michelin spent a gazillion dollars developing the OEM tire. Works for me. I ponied up for another set of OEMs. Because who really can tell one high end tire from the other on the way to WalMart? Or Starbuck's? Though the naysayers will claim some kind of GM conspiratorial cabal to deceive you no doubt. When you get to 20K, you are far nearer the end of the tunnel than the beginning.

I'm on my third set of OEM tires... they're good for between 30K-35K.... I changed to my third set at about 70K miles. I now have 10K on these tires - they look, ride, and drive fine.... I expect to be around 100K before I need my next set. I drive a lowly C7 with nearly all the goodies.

Would help a lot if folks mentioned which car and tire sizes they are talking about. Stingray non Z51 with 18/19 or GS with Z07 are going to be very different lifespans.

Z51 changed at 28K miles. My dealer said I drive pretty aggressively and I had some negative camber just by the look of them. Ordered replacements through Tire Rack. I'm currently sitting at just over 40K with the new set of OEM MPSS.

Which OEM tires?
Base?
Z51?
Grand Sport with Pilot Sports?
Grand Sport with Cup 2?

All different tires, all different characteristics

How do you rotate your tires on a Vette that has staggered sizes ...??

First off, the PSS and Cup 2 are both summer only tires. PSS should last about 20k miles. Cup2 is basically a slick with street legal tread and it might last 4k miles on the street (and looks like it's worn out on day 1)
1. lol it's a sports car and they're sticky tires.
2. they look bald or they are bald? It's a sport tire- not a truck tire. It's not going to have super deep or super wide treads
3. That's Ackerman (sp?) which is suspension geometry and not your tires.
4. That's because of your alignment and tire width, not tire compound/brand. Wider tires "track" in the road more and having more aggressive camber and toe will cause it to track a lot more.

Depends on how you drive and if aligned properly. I got 13,000 on my originals. I get 30,000 on Michelin A/S 3plus ZP. I'm on my third set of those. Same alignment on all sets of tires from originals to the Michelin A/S 3plus ZP.
I drive aggressive and hard.

The front OEM's on my base 2016 with 19/20 wheels were showing cord on the inside edges at 17,000 miles, I did not adjust the factory alignment from the day I drove off the dealer's lot - my bad. I wasn't too upset though, since I daily drive in all temperatures and worried a lot when temps were below 35 or so until the tires warmed up and really wanted a set of AS 3+ ZP's that weren't available for a year or so after I bought my car. I now have about a year and 9,000 miles on the all seasons and they show very little wear, handle as well as the OEM's for my not-so-aggressive driving style, don't chatter during low speed tight turns and I no longer worry about the low temps during the winter. If I bought a new C7 today, I would probably have the dealer install the all seasons on the car before driving it off the lot (along with a less aggressive street alignment).

left to right, the right to left.

Dcasole

I thought you are not supposed to do that with Radials as they take a set ....and now you are reversing that rotation

if they were same size, then front to back is fine but never on the same axle ...

That's just wrong...

The newer Michelin's are not directional.
They can go from side to side.

I love the feel of the AS3+ in the rain!
They just feel like a tire on dry roads. I get stuck in a lot of rain. And snow.

Rotating front to back and back to front will give you a cool 'gasser' look. ;-)
