Default List of all C6 GS / Z06 size non-runflat tires available >

I put together a list of all the non-runflat tires that are the correct size for the GS / Z06 cars.

These tires are all 275 / 35ZR-18 (front) and 325 / 30ZR-19 (rear) ... Again, all non-runflats.

Also, I arranged them in order from cheapest first to most expensive last ... This is the cheapest price I have found from the various retailers, and the price also includes shipping ... No additionals such as TPMS valves, valve stems or insurance are included in the price below (tires only to the door).

Wear rating (UTQG) is also shown

(BTW ... if you know of any other tires in these sizes, please post)

I bought 275 / 35ZR-18 (front) and 325 / 30ZR-19 (rear) Bridgestone RE-11's from Tire Rack.

Looks like they stopped carrying the fronts though. But I've seen them available at other places.

Just another option, even though TR doesn't have it.

Very good info

Now, if I can figure out how to not get a flat about every 6 months, I may get brave enough to try non run-flats next time........

It's crazy, I never had a flat in about 20 years, until I got a vette....... Luckily, Discount tire fixes them for free, and there is one close to me!

These are what I put on my '13 GS last year. Tremendous tire, tons of grip, smooth ride and so far great wear and great price. I think I paid $1190.00 from Tire Rack.

Cooper agreed to replace the tires and had the same issues on both second sets. At this point I put Nitto's on both cars and never had this issue again.

BTW...I drove both of these cars hard and was hard on the tires, but never had these issues with anything but the Coopers.

wish there was a list like this for 19 fronts 20 rears. I guarantee it would be a short list, not much to chose from

ooookkkkaaayyyy, I've went a complete (30k+ miles) run on my tires without a flat, so you guys convinced me to go to the dark side and try a set of non-runflats this time

I should be getting the Cooper Zeon's installed soon, I'll start another thread that compares them to my previous two sets of Bridgestone Potenza Pole Position run-flats.
