I’m not putting Michelin Cup 2 R ZP tires on my Z06. That’s the only other option besides the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S runflat. It’s sad that there are only two tire options for this car.

For me, steering is such a huge deal. Both of my C7s (Stingray and Z06) had great steering feel. My 2020 NSX also had great steering. My current BMW M8 steering leaves a lot to be desired; weight is similar to my NSX so no excuse. Everything in the BMW is so artificial - but it is very fast in a straight line. I was expecting that the C8 steering would be wonderful and this sucks to hear. I drove the Ferrari 296 GTB and of course that had great steering and it better for the price. However, that was the first car (it had the Asset Fiorano package) that was so rough riding that I literally don't know how anyone could drive it unless they were in Nevada.

I believe their should be non runflats available for this car. Comp 2 s are not the only choice as you are right they are too extreme.
most guys love runflats and they have come a long way. That said their some small challenges …give it or shot or don’t. That’s your choice.
good luck

If you go to Tire Rack’s web site and search by model, you’ll see there are only two options for the OEM sizes.

Now with all of 100 miles on the car, we are getting "acquainted " as our my neighbors when I start the engine. The start, unless in weather/touring is LOUDER than any other car I have owned, And I have owned some loud cars. Some have mentioned steering and brakes. As for me, thus far, I am satisfied with the steering (for the street) and my CC Brakes are working fine. I have raced for so many years , I "late brake" into corners (to my wife's dismay). and although not broken in, are working find for me. The wider stance of the Z06 impresses me. I am also warming up to the color of my car (Hypersonic Grey) which is receiving many compliments.
