Default 2014 tire recommendations
My original tires need to be replaced. Looking for tire recommendations for a 2014, Z51 3LT. Main use is touring, some aggressive driving during rallies, no intention to track the car. Appreciate your help.

Mich AS 3+ ZP. Just put on my '16 and changed characteristics dramatically. Great handling, much quieter, smoother ride. 80% of the year you'll have better performance to boot.

Just went to Michelin A/S 3+ZP as well. Very happy with them.

Do they make the Michelin A/S 3+ ZP's an inch wider than the OEM size for a Z51?

Do you guys think AS tires are needed in northern CA? It does rain 3-4 months per year, but not snow.

I’m in NorCal and always run summer tires, no problems in the rain. Doesn’t really get cold enough to need all seasons

Unless you need to frequently drive when it’s below 40F the OEM ire’s are best. I only have to drive infrequently when ~30F. I just set the drive mode in Weather as I do when below about 45F and all is fine. In ~5 miles tires warm from driving and back to my normal Sport Mode.
