Hey Gabe,
Sounds like its a Z07 performance package. Should have Carbon Ceramic (ZR1) brakes.
The tires are Michelin Pilot Sport Cups, and they are "legal" race tires. That flat spot (assuming it is still within spec) is part of the tire design.

BTW, I would kill to have a Z07 Z06!!

It does sound like the Z07 package. 2012 Z07 has the pilot sport cup tires, 2011 Z07 has the PS2 tires. I don't think you would have a hard time selling the cup tires as long as you ask a reasonable amount.

Here is the info on the Cup tires, with picture: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....t+Sport+Cup+ZP

They are street legal but would wear out in about 5K miles even with just street driving.
