Tire Availability Question
I was just looking on Tire Rack and they do not list Pilot Super Sport ZP tires for my Z51 Stingray anymore. The only ZP is the A/S 3+ . I already replaced my tires once and am about ½ way to another set so have time. I agonized over getting the A/S 3+ last time but decided to stay with the PSS’s as I really like the grip. (Treasure Coast Florida so no cold weather issues) I like the security of the ZP tire but not sure about grip and noise. Guess it will be between the A/S 3+ and Pilot Sport 4S where will lose ZP. I have done this before with my C6 as the Goodyear’s were so bad went with none RunFlats.

There's always someone selling the SS on the forum. I found a great deal last May and we met halfway to pick them up. Have you tried Discount Tire. I bought 3 new ones for my Z under a warranty program they have.

I have the A/S 3+ ZPs on my Stingray and from what I can tell the grip is just fine. I have not noticed much difference between the A/S 3+ and the PSSs that came on the car.

I just bought a complete set of non-runflat Michelin Pilot Super Sports for my 2014 C7 from Tire Rack.
These are the listings that I used to make the purchase:

Have the same tires on my BMW 335i. Wanted the 4s for the Vette but they weren't in stock when I needed/wanted to buy the tires but the 4s are available too if you are willing to wait

I've got AAA and carry a compressor and inflator I originally bought to use w/the Bolt that I leased for 3 yrs. LOL! 
FWIW, I've NEVER had a flat w/the Michelin Pilot Super Sports that I've run w/my 2008 BMW 335i E90 Sedan (which also originally came w/runflats. However, I can carry an emergency spare in the trunk along w/a compressor and inflator as well.
The only flats that I've ever had in the past 10 years were 2 on different Priuses that I leased & owned and tire damage that I stupidly caused myself on my MB ML350.
Otherwise, I've never had any tire problems whatsoever. Doesn't mean sh*t can't happen but that's what AAA and the compressor/inflator are for.
