Exactly....1g of cornering on the streets is VERY hard to do and be safe. On a track you can take all the risks you want. So the performance difference doesn't matter on the street.

I really hope they come out will sizes to fit my C6, because I'd love the have these new all season tires. If not, I stick with my current plan of getting the Pilot 4S tires next year. Somebody did a cold weather video on Youtube, and I'm in Atlanta, and don't drive my car if it's less than 40 degrees. The Pilot 4S actually does ok. Again, you just take it easy when it's cold, and your fine.

Especially since they are supposedly at or real close to 1.0g on those all-seasons AND when the 'vette only came with summer tires so many people complained.

I'd love to be able to spec the all-seasons on a Z51.

I wish I could spec the Pilot Sport 4S on the base car.

A few years back I put Pilot Supersports on an M3, the 3rd gen pilot sport. Fantastic tires. Dramatically changed the car.

When I saw that Z51 was the only way to get the PS4S I was a little heartbroken.

You could take their base car on a track with a little prep and have a lot of fun. That's where it was developed.
