Default 2014 Z51 replacement non runflat tires.

This might not be the right place to post this, but I need to replace the tires on my 2014 Z51 C7. I want to replace with non run flat tires. I would like a performance tire that will last like 20-25k miles. Any recommendations?

Thank you in advance.

I haven't changed out my Z51 tires yet, but I run Pilot Super Sport non-run flats on my other 3 vehicles. They are the best handling tires I have had on any vehicle. On my EcoBoost Flex, I got over 30,000 miles on a set vs about the same mileage on a set of Conti DW's. The PSS handled much better than the DW's, but when it gets below 50 they start to loose traction as the tread rubber starts to get harder.

None of my vehicles run summer tires when it's below freezing.

On my 2 G8 GT's, the PSS definitely handle better than the original Bridgestone O50A's. The fronts on those lasted forever, but the rears were only good for about 12K. Wonder why??? HAHAHA But... it was definitely fun!!!!

My plan is to go with PSS non- run flats either when I get a second set of wheels, or when my original run flats need replacement.
