Default Michelin // Bridgestone

It seems that Michelin Pilot Super Sports are back ordered for 2 or 3 mos. Anyone have opinions on Bridgestone Potenza run flats? S007ARFT

I put Bridgestone run flats on my C6 when I had it . Loved them....night and day to the Goodyears it came with. Highly recommended. Check Costco for their price on them before you buy.

I have had the Bridgestones on my Z06 for about 2 weeks now. I have no complaints. But in all fairness, the car hasn't been pushed to it's limits and it has been over 110 degrees here everyday, so I have only used them in limited situations. But as a hot-weather street tire, I like what I'm experiencing for now.

Those are great tires; had them on my C6. They look great. Currently running Pilot Sp[ort A/S 3+ ZP on my C7.

I also put some Bridgestone Potenzas on my C5 when I had it. Smooth riding. Like 2000 Vette Guy said, check Costco. They do have good prices and offer special incentives from time to time.

I run the normal, non-run flat S007A - no complaints. I found the OEM Michelins got greasy once hot on track.

Had Potenza Pole Position RFs on my 13’ C-6, Zero complains. I liked them enough I’ll consider a set when I need new tires for my C-7.
