Hydroplane thread, Goodyear eagle one ?
I just read through the hyfroplane thread. I have the eagle one runflats with Corvette rims on my Camaro. These tires have a lot of tread depth. How come Goodyear did not come up with a runflats tire for the GS, Zo6 and Z51 ? Wish I could have tires like those on the c7 I get. ( I'm a fan of runflats )

GM switched to Michelin run flats with the C7 and the C6 ZR1 and C6 Z06/Z07. The Michelin Run Flats perform better than the GY EMT tires that you have.

IMO, (ugh oh), no tire dissipates water well if the inner circular grooves are not cut to the outside with sipes to allow water to "push" out from under tire quickly.
