Default Michelin Pilot SS new tire

Is the new version of the PSS available for the 2015 Z06?

Thanks

I assume you mean the PS4? Unfortunately, no. They don't make Z06 sizes.

Not likely from all that I have read and chatted with them about. I can't even get the Alpin winter series tires! We have been traveling and I didn't try and get them until we returned, so another winter in the toy shed for the C7 Z06! I don't know why they didn't produce more as there seems to be plenty of demand.

Actually they offer the front size, but not the rear. They still maintain that they ARE GOING to, but never give any time frame.

Akin to purchasing a pair of pants one leg at a time! Sort of reminds me of Wimpy, "I will pay you on Tuesday." But, he never told Popeye what Tuesday!

The 4S are not run flats. So they will never replace our oem tires.

Letter I got from Michelin yesterday, Tire not in the cards anytime soon.





Regarding your email stating:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I keep hearing from your representatives at certain track
events as well as the National Corvette Museum that Michelin intends to
bring out a All Season Run Flat for the Corvette Z06. I am aware you have
the front tire for the Z06 available now, but no rear tire as of yet. I
need to buy a set of tires for my 2016 Z06 now, however I will wait if you
can tell me diffidently that the All Season tire will will be available
soon. My car is a convertible, so it will never be a track car. My car has
the Pilot SS tire on it now, but I need tires now. Please check for this
information in upper corporate, as anyone can look at your website and see
the tires are not available at this time.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

We appreciate your request for the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ in the size 335/25ZR20 99Y ZP.

Unfortunately, we do not manufacture this tire in the size specified. The representatives were correct. We do plan to create this tire however, it is not in production and we do not have a date scheduled for release.

If we can assist you further, please respond to this email or call us at 866-866-6605 (toll-free) between 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. EST Monday through Saturday.

We appreciate your business and thank you for choosing Michelin.

Sincerely,
