No more Winter hibernation!
Just picked up a set of Michelin Pilot Sport AS/3+ ZP at Tire Rack warehouse in New Castle DE....now, except when there is actually snow on the ground, I can drive my vette all year round!

I have the same tires and drive mine year round in Colorado. You'll love those tires.

Congrats! And welcome to the “Enjoy Your Vette Year Round Association”. Got mine when the C7 was new in 2016...no regrets at all, just more miles of smiles!

Those are the exact tires I want when it comes time to replace the stock tires. I'm in the next town over from you, where are you having them installed?

These guys installed custom rims on my SUV a few years ago after the other auto shops around here didn't have a clue.
They know what they are about
Plus the owner is a Corvette guy and had his crew install his $1500 wheels so if he's good with them,so am I!

I always wonder how much of the “quieter” factor is simply due to the fact that worn low profile tires are much louder in general than new low profile tires. IOW, will the all-seasons still be significantly quieter once they are worn to the same degree the OE tires were? I suspect there won’t be much difference.

Summer / Winter
I purchased my 17 Stingray from the dealer with the Michelin Pilot Super Sports. Had them put on those Michelin Pilot Sports before I drove it up to the mountains were we live. This summer I bought a set of after market rims and had the Pilot Super Sports put on and drove them for the first time. Made a noticeable improvement in how the car handles on our wonderfully serpentine mountain roads. Had to put her winter shoes back on last week. Less fun now, not a lot, but still noticeable.
