Default Zr1 tire life ?

Have. 2011 and bought couple years back with 5k on tires/car and now have 9k. Fronts might be original but rears I think we’re replaced but date codes old 2010 ish....
When should a person get new rubber? Plenty of tread on these but wonder about getting none run flats for ride quality?
Thanks for Any thoughts on this

5 years max for a high performance car like yours. Your tires are ready for replacement

And get rid of the run flats. They're the worst tire you could put on there. I would only consider them if I was doing nothing but driving across country.

I have 2 sets of wheels, both ZR1 19&20s. 1set has Mic. cup 2 runflats. the other set Continental DW non runflats. No comparison in the ride quality, Continental much better & quiter. I'm not a racer, too old. I'm removing the Cup2 tires & have the latest Contenental DW Sport tires to have mounted on the other wheels. The Cup 2 tires are really soft & wear fast during city/hiway normal driving. I'll sell the Cup 2 then.
