15.5" for both ZR1 and C7Z06 front rotor

The rear rotor is indeed larger, but still less than 15.5"

Ok, for some reason I thought I saw 15.7 somewhere.

Stepping down to a 19" still gives you Michelin options but also gives you Hoosier slicks and R-compounds from Toyo and Kumho.

Im talking about on stock wheels. The pilot SS is the best option? Really?
Corvette guys seem to have the best options:

Best dry performance: Michelin Cup 2
More miles less sticky: Michelin PSS
Budget: Toyo T1R

The Invo should also be a budget tire but it seems overpriced. There isn't an all season tire that I can see.

ive read that the cup 2 was great on the track but on the street the SS was better due to the cups 2 loosing traction unless its on a 100% clean surface like a track. The street, that isn't the case
Any thoughts?
I have to believe with the z06 out others are going to have to come in this size. Where as before it was only the zr1 and didn't make sense from a production stand point for the little amount of zr1's out there

The Z06 tires are a very small market and there doesn't seem to be a lot of interest in entering the market. For the Summer only high performance tires other than Michelin it's Toyo and P Zero Corsa (Pirelli) tires? For these summer only tires, everyone seems to love the Michelin tires (PSS or Cups) so there really isn't any demand at all for summer only alternatives.

No one seems interested in making an A/S tire in this performance range. I assume there is a technical reason for this lack of interest in making an A/S tire that I just don't have the technical knowledge to appreciate.
