They should have done that with the C7, at least after the first year or two.

Note that the C8 Z51 (and probably future GS/Z06 models) will come with summer-only tires. As Max said, should be a choice for all models.
If you can get 5 or 7 or whatever colors of seat belts, don't try to tell me it's too complicated to have the tire option.

2017 Z51 Mag ride usually in Tour.
Two sets of GM wheels/tires- PSS and AS3+
At 30k miles, we have bent 5 of our 8 wheels. The roads in Illinois are bad, but not that bad.
Previously, 200k+ miles in other Corvettes without any wheel damage except one curb rash.

I can't tell you if they are forged, but I can tell you they are weak.
