Is this a good tire?
I need to put new tires on my car and I was told these are all weather tires, what do you guys think? Any suggestions?

Absolutely!
I had a set on my Z51 I just sold and they were driven in everything from torrential downpours to temps in the teens (no snow however). GREAT street tires for the C7. Oh and mine were NRF too
(just remember that cold tires and road surface dictates not to be a leadfoot)

Simply the best. too early for cold weather to praise that; so will praise the cease fire of stones being hurled up from the original super sport tires onto the fenders/rocker panels OR onto the brake disks and leaving groove marks in the rear disks when the stone(s) get wedged there. The A/S 3+ tires simply do not throw stones.

Another vote in favor. That is what I put on my Z51 daily driver.

Thank you to all for sharing your experience with me. I am buying those tires on Memorial Day weekend at Discount Tires for less than $1,400 out the door including the certificates.

We put the runflat version on our C7 Z51 last Fall and used them for an 8,700 mile trip to the Southwest Jan-Apr. No snow, but temperatures ranged from 15' up to 90'. Worked fine, but just as noisy as the factory tires.
Looking at all the things that can go bad after you get a flat on non-RF tires, especially since we take long trips to places in the boonies, I insist on RF. Choose wisely for your worst case scenario.
