I think you have Sport Cups as I had on my 2012 z06/z07. Be very careful in the wet and if it start pouring get off the road ASAP

from tire rack:
Pilot Sport Cup ZP radials meet DOT requirements, however they are not recommended for driving in wet conditions where standing water is present and there is the risk of hydroplaning;
drivers should drive cautiously at reduced speeds if they encounter these conditions. And like all Streetable Track & Competition tires, Pilot Sport Cup ZP radials are not intended to be driven
in near-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice. It’s also essential these tires be stored indoors at temperatures maintained above 32 degrees F.

Regular tires are Pilot Super Sport.. they are fine in the rain no worry..

The Z07 package has Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires which are not that good in the rain. Drive slow if there is standing water aka puddles. But not undriveable
