I have been researching new tires and think I want to go with the Michelins. After reading numerous pros and cons to this tire, I think I really need to see a set on a car and take a ride if I can. Does anyone have these tires on their C5? I would be more then happy to meet at your convenience. I can be reached on my cell at 484-432-1946. I had posted this request on corvetteforum. I must of been having a "senior moment" until Ellis responded and recommended I post it here. What was I thinking? :p

I've got the ZPs on my C5 convertible. If you're ever down here you can check 'em out!

I've got them on my car. I work in Horsham and live in Warminster if you're ever up in this area. I do drive the car in the winter on nice dry days when it looks like the rocksalt count is low.

I like the tires. They are a nice improvement in traction and noise compared to the runflat goodyears.

Thanks for the reply. I am in the Conshocken area so it is an easy ride to your neck of the woods. PM or email me when it would be convenient and I'll meet you for a cup of coffee. :D

They are listed on Tire Racks web site. ZP stands for zero pressure.
They are quieter and softer then the OE Goodyears. Much better in the rain and light snow conditions. To accomplish that they are only good for 50 miles at 55mph rather then 200 miles at 55mph that the original Goodyears are.
