Pirelli tire question
I've started thinking about all-season tires for my wife's 2015 Stingray. She's thinking of taking a trip to visit friends next summer - but will be going to places where the nightime temps are sub-50 even in the summer.
I noticed a dealer here who has among other things, Pirelli (or is it Perilli ?) tires. I've never driven on Pirelli's so was wondering if anybody here has put them on a Vette..... Any comments would be appreciated.

I have never run Pirelli tires on any of my cars, so can't comment on their quality and performance. I do have the Michelin AS3+ ZPs on my car and have absolutely no complaints with them.

I'd go to Discount Tire. Good advisors, good value, and once you go you are in their system.
If Tires are for street driving, then all weather and something rated "best"
If you have ever had a flat in Corvette and you did not have run flats you will on the next set of tires. Run Flats only way to go.
I'm also big fan of AAA. If a tow or road side service needed it will reduce risk of getting ripped off.

OP;
Chinese chemical company buys Pirelli for $7.7 billion. (R&T; Mar 23,2015)
The Chinese are investing heavily in Italy, and Pirelli deal comes in the wake of a number of important acquisitions in Europe's third largest economy.
Note: Pirelli is the world's fifth-largest tire manufacture and supplies tires to Formula 1.
Many thanks,
