Tires
 

Just picked up my C7-Z51 convertible. Summer tires/ chrome rims. What other tires can be put on the car so I can use the car in inclement weather? Anyone get Forgiato rims?

There are numerous threads about A/S & winter tires. Search the forum for "winter."

Don't see anything specific for C7 model. Thanks

Narrow the search to the C7 forum. Here are three links. There are more threads.

best answer ever given for this common question, thanks.

Personaly - I have the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3's on my C7 Z51.
Great tire for normal winter conditions, as I will not drive her in snow or icy roads as normal.
I do need the cold temperature capabilities over th "Summer Only" tires!
If I leved further norht or in Canada, I would have opted for the Pilot Alpin PA4's as the are true winter tires!
I may actually run the A/S's year round!

I'm looking at these as they are run flat. Pilot Sport A/S Plus ZP. Anybody tried them?

Note that they are not runflat in the Z51 sizes.

I had PS A/S 2 ZP's on my C6. They were a vast improvement over the stock Goodyear tires, but I still had issues with snowpack on my inclined cul de sac. The latest versions are likely improved.

Today I successfully navigated my snowpacked street with the Continental ExtremeContactDWS tires I had put on awhile ago. I bought these based on various threads about them in the C6 section. Unfortunately, they also are not runflats. There seems to be some conspiracy with A/S or winter runflats for the C7 Z51 sizes, as no manufacturer offers them.

Thanks. Don't have Z51 but am looking for a year around tire. Thinking of trading in org tires as brand new on something I can use all year.

Where to buy... tirerack doesn't have them....

Any major chain (Town Fair Tire - National Tire & Battery - Sullivan Tire) can get the Michelins from their regional warehouse!
