Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus ZP Runflat
For those of you who drive in cold weather these tires are the tires for you because they are all weather tires. They look great and the price for a set of four is less than $1300. I took off the Goodyear run flats and put these on. The car is smoother and quieter. My car is a 2009 Coupe with the Z51 package. The tires have a 30,000 mile warranty( I got 15,000 out of the Goodyear Run flats) from Michelin and my GM dealer matched the Tire Rack price.

Put the same tires on my 08 C6 Pace Car Coupe before I traded it in for my Z06. They are great tires and worked well in the rain...

Drove mine up into the mountains of W.VA & MD (5000ft elevation) in 6 inches of snow and through a full day of rain without a single slippery moment. I cannot say enough good things about these tires in bad weather!
They work well in the dry too. Grippy in cold weather and much smoother/quieter than stock!

I had them on a 2008 C6 and just like the OP, I loved them.

These are way better than the Goodyear - my dealer also matched the Tire Rack price which made it really easy.

I have them an the reduction in road noise is dramatic. I was using the NAV the other day and I thought - Why do I have the voice set so loud. ... Oh yea, it used to have to talk over the road noise.

I had them on my 08 Coupe. I think they are excellent tires but you will notice the performance difference in summer driving. They are slower to respond to steering inputs.
I just traded in my 08 for my 11 GS Vert and of course it has OEM supercars. A/S is not available yet and it may not be available since the sizes have been around since the Z06 first came out. My car is a non daily driver whose cold weather duties will be a quick trip down the interstate on cold dry days to keep everything working. To be honest, given the choice again I would probably go with the PS2 ZP. A/S ZP is an excellent tire but the performance differences in summer are as big as night and day even at highway speeds.

I had an amazing run with the Goodyears. I changed the fronts at 40,000 miles and I changed the rears at 67,000 miles and they still had a decent tread! (I might hold the record for mileage on these tires.) But I just changed the rears to the Michelins PS2 A/S run flats and noticed a significant reduction in road noise. The Goodyears may be better for the track, but the Michelins are a far better all purpose tire.

The Goodyears are crap. I went with the Michelin P/S 2's ZP's and its night and day better. Looked at the A/S's but most ratings had the P/S tires rated above. Sure the A/S tires are similiar very happy I switched. The reduction in road noise a big plus...........

The rears look real good.

Put a post on the forum for a buddy. The michelins were recommended along with
Firestone. And Falkens. I think he went with the firestones due to lower cost.
I haven't seen him since the install.

My Michilen AS high performance run flats also have a 45,000 mile warranty. I ditched the super car tires at 7,000 miles. The goodyears are one reason i am not considering a new c6 right now since they are all crap and would have to be replaced to get the most out of a new vette. I have eagle goodyears on my silvarado which also are noisy and have a rough ride.
