Narrow or wide body? How will you drive it? State you live in?

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.

What’s the main difference between the two? I’ll need new tires soon and I always go with the Michelins. I always liked them. I had the summer ones(MPSS) than switched to the all season A/S3. Now I’m thinking the MPS all season 4 and I like the run flats. Thanks don’t mean to hijack the thread just figured a good opportunity to ask. Thanks

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.

Best bet to go to TireRack.com and read about the differences in test reports between those tires. The Continental model is the DWS06, Michelin current is the A/S4.

I run Mich. AS4 on mine. I don't race or autocross just some spirited road use periodically. I like the ride and handling. BTW, it really helps with questions if you fill in some profile info, exactly what model you have, where you are, etc.... and pics are ALWAYS a good thing.

The tires that come on stock Vettes are:
Michelin Pilot Sport 4S ZP (run-flat) summer tires for Z51 packages, or Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 ZP for non-Z51 Stingrays

The 4 season tire is a little harder than the summer tire so it will last longer mileage wise. The 4 season tire is less sticky than the summer tire so less road debris gets attached and thrown onto side of car. Unless you are tracking the car you could not tell the difference between the two. Plus the 4 season is usually cheaper.

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.

Thats exactly why I want all season. I don’t live to far from Chicago and it gets cold here in the fall. Definitely still driving before I store it for the winter with the temps in the 30’s and 40’s

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.
