When my tires wear out, I am going to put, Continental Contact extreme DWS 6 on mine. They have a great wear rating and a good reputation, and not stupid expensive.
I had those on my ats-v, wasnt super impressed, wasnt disappointed. Only had that car a little over a year, cant speak to longevity, but i could break them loose pretty easy in a stock auto car

If you want all season tires combined with runflat security, I would recommend a set of Michelin A/S ZP tires. I have the A/S 3+ ZPs on my car (due for a change soon) and they have been a great tire.

I don’t think they make those anymore. That’s what I have on now and love them. Will be looking soon too 👍
Just don't make a common mistake some people make with summer tires. If you drive your car with summer tires, when the temp is below about 35*F you are in danger of the tires splitting and cracking. This is very dangerous. It isn't about summer tires performing bad in cold weather, it can kill you.
Tire selection really depends on how much you want to spend and how you drive.
The temperature of concern is 20F. Read the tire specs it is well documented by each manufacturer.
Below 20F there is risk of the rubber cracking if driving on them below that temperature. Living in northern MN I drive summer tires some in the fall/spring before I swap over to my a/s tire set on my C7 and temps may dip into the low 30s upper 20's, no problem other than little traction. On my daily driver I also have summer tires that I then swap to winter tires. But I'll drive on the summer tires when the morning lows are in the upper 20's, no problem as long as I don't push them, even more careful when wet below 40F.
I've been using summer tires like this for nearly 40 years.
I just got my 2nd set of Continental DWS 06’s last month. These tires lasted a long time and had no issues with them, I drive the car in all seasons. I like a more comfortable tire, which is why I got them again. I guess it depends on how you drive, if you like going on road trips and back roads on the weekend they are great.
AFAIK, the C7 came out of the factory with only Michelin Pilot Super Sport (PSS) ZP (runflat) tires in appropriate sizes, except a few with the track-oriented Michelin Cup2.
The tires you mention are good tires (depending on your needs) but not stock and were not available when the C7 was in production.

that’s exactly what I thought. At least they make them for the C7 Thanks 👍
I’m confused I like the Michelin Sport All Season 4 ZP or get the Michelin Sport All Season 4S? They say they’re both all season ? For my 2019 Z ? Sorry so slow lol 😂
Michelin's branding leaves something to be desired, causing confusion for many. To be clear, their offerings include...
- Pilot Super Sport is the OE SUMMER performance tire that came on most C7s
- Pilot Sport Cup 2 is the OE DRY SUMMER performance tire that was part of the Z07 package
- Pilot Sport 4S is a more recent addition to Michelin's SUMMER performance tire lineup, never offered as OE on C7s
- Pilot Sport A/S 3+ was the go to ALL-SEASON alternative for our cars prior to replacement by the All-Season 4
- Pilot Sport All-Season 4 is the ALL-SEASON replacement for the A/S 3+
FWIW, I just replaced my OE Pilot Super Sports with Pilot All-Season 4 last week. In the limited miles driven so far, they seem smoother and quieter, while still handling respectably. I'm hoping for a little better wear than I got from the Super Sports, but my primary reason for switching is Colorado's chilly mornings, when I expect better grip from the A/S 4.
Depends on what kind of tire you're looking for. Most people that switch to all seasons either go with the Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 or Continental all seasons.
Go to TireRack.com. Punch in your model info and they will come up with tires that fit. Then you will find some tires with tire testing... click on those links to read about how each tire performs under different conditions. Then based on your needs / driving style pick a tire. We cannot tell you what to get... don't know your needs. There are probably a couple dozen different tires that will work well. Let us know what you decide.
FYI, for me I need best of both worlds and have 2 sets of wheels. One with summer performance tires, another with all season tires so I can drive early spring and late fall here in northern Minnesota.
