Tires
Looking for advice on best place to purchase wheels / tire combination.
Currently riding on stock wheels / Michelin Cups with 1100 miles on them.
2017 Z06.
Prefer tires with actual thread on them will use cup tires "once and a while".

There are some here that like the Michellens as/3 all season. The tread pattern reminds of the all season gator backs used on the c4zr1 in 1990 and 1991. I had a 91zr1 with the gator backs and they did awesome even getting caught in 2 or 3 inches of snow.

I have the Michellens non-cup mpss runflats. They suck — if it’s cool out it’s like your driving on grease.

Plenty of tread, as you can see.

I have 4 Cup 2's (front & rear from the factory at build) with like 4 miles between factory and dealer PDI. They came with my ZR1 but were taken off at delivery and replaced with MPSS. If anyone is looking for a full set of never used Cups they can let me know.
