I put Michelin A/S 3+ ZPs on my 2014 and am very pleased with them. I would recommend the newer version now that they are out.

We put Michelin Pilot Super Sport ZP on the silver car last year. Happy with them so far; and recommend them.

We trudge on.

Since you are in British Columbia, I also recommend the Michelin A/S 4 ZP. With the all season tire you will extend your driving time into the cooler weather.
As far as finding them in your city? You may need to have one of the larger tire dealers there order a full set for you.

Just to pile on here. based on my experience with the Pilot Sport AS3+ ZP and now the new and improved pilot sport AS4 ZP on my '16 Z51. Those are the tires you want. Got mine from Tirerack almost a year ago.

Now if Michelin would just make the 4S 285/30/20 in a runflat, I would use them as my summer only/ occasional track tire.

I put Michelin A/S 3+, ZPs on my 2016 Z51 and am very pleased with them. I would have gone with the 4's, but, at the time they were unavailable for the rear tires. I have the Magnetic Ride Update and thought they handled better than the original tires.

I would get the Michelin A/S 4, ZP.

I continue to run OEM PSS and really like them. I run PA4's in the cold months.

I hate mine...way too noisy on my coupe! I thought Michelin AS/3 ZP would be quiet but on the highway they suck....all I hear.
