I have a 14 Z51 with stock PSS tires which are done at 18k miles. I have been limping along dangerously on < 3/32nd since 15k on the fronts.
Backs are at 3-5/32nds.

I've been trolling the threads for new tire recommendations of which there are many. I have read a lot of old posts back to '14. A lot of people discussing what tires they witched to but most were relatively new.
Between '14 and last year the most popular replacement tires I have seen, (aka most frequently talked about found in my site search for general driving) were:

Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 Plus
Continental Extreme Contact DWS 06
BFGoodrich g-Force COMP-2 A/S
(And OEM PSS of course)

Well it's 4 years later for some posts so I thought I'd ask now.

What tires did you last buy and what mileage did you get out of them before needing replacement?

Would you buy them again or something different?

C7 Base Stingray. 6000 miles on OEM PSS tires before they needed to be replaced. Can't complain since I beat the heck out of them.

Wow only 6K?!
I was upset with 18k. (The wife was shocked they did not last at least 60k like her SUV tires!)

Although to be fair their 30k warranty does say (in really tiny print) only 15k warranty if not rotated.
How many performance cars can rotate tires anymore?

I was looking at the DSW06 but even the mfg site does not have them in my stock sizes? So I am probably going with A/S 3Plus recommended by a lot of posters here.
Costco has them $160 off a set of 4 this week which will put them at < $1k installed.

My 2014 is still on original tires. 37k miles and still have some left. I'll be replacing with same next month. Very happy with them.

2014.
fronts lasted about 24k,
Rears still have lots of life left

I replaced the fronts with PS AS3 + ZPs.

Turning and rolling resistance seems to be a lot lower - that is, the wheel turns easier in all driving modes.

No wheel hop on tight turns.

Significantly quieter.

Just remember, selecting tires is selecting compromise that suits your needs. The OEM MPSS ZP are high performance, which means softer compound, faster wear, more noise, but better: overall grip, heat tolerance, deflection resistant, steering feel in high speed turn. Any of the other ones on your list will slide the bar towards less performance, which means harder compound, less wear, less noise, but less performance.

9000, then chunks coming off.
Many autocrosses & several track days.
Replaced with Michelin Pilot Sport PS2'S.

REPOED C7

I replaced my OEM tires at 19,000 miles with Pilot Sport 4's. The original tires still had some tread left but I was sliding all over the place.

6000 miles on the front..due to factory not being properly aligned upon delivery......never thought to spend the time or effort on a showroom Z06 costing $95,000.00 that I should have them aligned before taking it home! Still have the stock rears installed 11,599 now, am going to replace the rear at about 14,000 miles. No tracking, normal street driving...had alignment mechanic with 36 years experience align the front when I replaced them at another dealer..not where I bought it and he spent about 6 hours getting the front perfect with lots of pride in his work...and they still look new.
So these hi performance Michelins are really soft, so next time around I will go to a different longer lasting street tire, because am not doing any hi performance racing or tracking.

These cars are aligned and set up to get maximum performance at the track. The tires are extremely soft compounds. 15k is a solid life span for most.

Got about 25K out of the fronts with 2 HPDE track days, novice 3/4 20min sessions each day. Rear tires still have life left. Hoping to get another 5K out of them.

Just ordered a new set of Pilot Super Sport ZPs for my 2016 Z51 today. You couldn’t talk me into anything else.

I’m right at 32,000 miles. Just got back from a road trip and went through quite a bit of rain. I was really impressed with the performance at this end of their life. Very little wet traction difference from new.

I rotate every oil change and drive it hard when in town. However, most of the miles were acquired on the highway.

My 2016 Z06 has 4600 miles, orig owner, never tracked garage kept in FL. I am being told by selling dealer and independent Michelin dealer that both front tires (stock Michelin PSSs) are at 3/32 and need replacing. What has happened to cause such wear (alignment is slightly out) in low mileage? I know not to expect over 14K put of these soft compounds but at 4600 miles???

KemahGT

I would guess that your alignment is out.

Pacembellum

Buncha grandmas in here. 3.5 track days and 5000 street miles.

35,000 on a 2014 base. Cord showing after a Route 66 visit in AZ. I could have gotten a lot more miles if the two alignments I had the dealer do used a less aggressive setup for street.... live and learn

~18000 From the fronts and the back are probably going to be 19 before I replace them due to track party times

I am heading out to AZ going to Winslow. this August, I am traveling 40 from NC. Is there anything need to watch for, or a need to see spots?

If you decide to drop down to I-10 and go through San Antonio, be sure to check out Cooper's Bar-B-Q & Grill in Junction (140m NW of San Antonio) just off of I-10. Some of the absolute best brisket in all of the South West.



Good luck and be safe... GUSTO
