Run flat tires
Is there a list of run flat tires that fit a C7 GS. Trying to figure out what manufacture has the proper size of RF's is confusing. I am hoping that some kind person has put a list of some sort together to help dysfunctional computer users like me. Thanks

Are you on stock sizes? If so TireRack/Discount Tire, Costco, etc. will show you what they stock for the standard sizes for your car that they carry.
I don't know if this is helpful but here's a list of sorts. Whether they carry your size I have no clue. Probably have to go to the manufacturers site.

Another recommendation to check on line. With the easy filters at Tirerack.com and others, and with constant changes, not much of a reason for anyone to create a list. That said, sounds like looking on line not your strength, here is a shot: I took a quick look and there are three tires in stock GS size and run flat. Pilot Super Sport, Pilot Sport All Season 4, and Bridgestone Potenza 0007A. There may be others this is just what Tire Rack carries... however they carry most respected brands.
Good Luck!!!

As far as I know the only companies that make all season run flats for widebody C7's are Michelin and Continental.
Very limited choices in stock sizes but I have been very happy with the Michelin Pilot 4S ZP on my car. Great all around tire and you can actually drive it in the rain or cold weather.

My recommendation would be the Michelin RF tires but I did have a set of Continental tires (non-runflat) on my 2015 Impala and liked them a lot.

Tire Rack is who I used to buy my tires. There online site was super easy just log in Brand of vehicle , model and year . Then view tires available for that vehicle. I just ordered my new Michelin Pilot All Season 4ZP ( ZP zero pressure) on Thursday morning for my 17 GS and they showed up at my door today ! Delivery in less than two days !
OP you mentioned your not good on a computer I also called their customer service phone number with a question before ordering and they were very knowledgeable and helpful. You can order by phone I choose to ask question then I ordered on line and added sales persons name to my online order so they got credit for sale.

It must be between the innermost and outermost tread groove, any more to either side should not be patched.
The tire should dismounted and inspected on the inside, especially if you drove a long way with the Low Pressure light on, or even a fairly short way showing Flat Tire.
I believe Michelin does not put any restrictions on a tire with 1 proper patch, 2 patches is different.
Let us know how it goes...

When I asked for the documents to keep for possible road hazard warranty in the future, they hemmed and hawed and dragged their feet, finally admitted they had bought the new tires from Tire Rack and then sold them directly to us, so we weren't the "original purchaser" and there was no warranty. I haven't been back to that dealer since then, but would have been screwed if we had Road Hazard damage.

Several years ago a local dealer had a sale on tires, so we bought 4 new Michelin runflats in standard sizes for our Corvette.

My purchase this week of Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4ZP tires INCLUDED road hazard from Tire Rack for those who might be looking to purchase tires that include the road Hazard.
