Great job today Chuck. Getting information from the average guy is more valuable to me, because we will be on the same page. Not all of us are experts on this car. Love this new concept about garage talk. Lets answer some questions that the newbie might have about their new Corvette. There is soooo much to learn and this channel will be a great resource for the "average guy" ... Pete 🖐🖐🖐👋👍

[@Corvettes918]

Well said Pete. Thats my focus for this garage talk. Us all working together can help out our new Corvette family members.

[@cywoods60]

So we'll said, I so agree. I've learned so much from this video. I can't remember the last time I had my tires balanced. LOL SMH

[@anthonyjames307]

I drive my 2007 C6 every day! Bought it in 2011 w 30k mi. Got 113k mi on it now. Going for 200k mi! Love the channel and glad to have you back!

[@Corvettes918]

Glad to see you are enjoying your corvette Anthony!!! Drive the wheels off it.

[@curtisfish7984]

I just replaced the Super Sports that came on my 2017 Grand Sport with the A/S 3 +. What a great tire!! Quieter than the Super Sports and I can actually drive my GS any time of year. In West Texas we get some cold but dry weather in the winter. This week morning temps were in the mid 20s but afternoon temps were mid 40s to 50 degrees. I would buy the A/S 3 + again.

[@Corvettes918]

Thanks Curtis for sharing your experience on these. I think these are going to be a big hit.

[@toddyounker12]

Curtis Fish How many miles did you get out of your super sports? I’m at 11k and have 4/32 left. Thanks.

[@Krenath]

I also changed to the AS 3+ for a 2017 Grand Sport. I'm blown away with the grip on these tires, particularly in the cold and wet. Not only that, but the car seems to handle road bumps better and impacts feel less harsh than on the Super Sports, yet they don't feel squishy. I don't think I'll be going back to the Super Sports unless I'm tracking the car.

[@curtisfish7984]

Todd Younker I got 14,500 out of mine. Mostly highway speeds.

[@oneslackr]

@@curtisfish7984: I replaced my Sport Cup 2s back in November on my '18 Z07 with A/S 3+ even though I only had 1,425 miles on the Cup 2s. I agree with you & Eric, the A/S 3+ are nice tires & I've been happy with them so far. No more issues with driving in low temps, rain, etc...

[@kathrynmallary5469]

As a woman who daily drives her C5, I appreciate your comments of getting out and driving! Just ordered the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4. Not run flats but I do mostly local, suburban driving in the northeast. Thanks for the info!

[@bluevette2230]

Good day Chuck; thank you for all the information provided in this vlog, it truly is great, to be viewing Corvette 918 vlogs again; Rick and yourself, are a dynamic duo, when it comes to providing all of us Corvette enthusiast, with unmatched content; Blessed day, to all in the Corvette family; Corvettes # 1 !

[@jbryanh75]

Great vlog! Man do I wish I could have watched something like this 9-12 months ago!! So many choices!

[@19pony97]

Great info on the tires! I now know what kind I’ll be getting when the time comes.👍👍👌👌

[@swfloridacarguy1987]

Fantastic new vlog. Will save this vlog for future reference. I subscribe to many KZbin channels and no doubt your channel is loaded with meaningful relative content to Corvette owners... Thanks Chuck...

[@nicholasnucci3852]

Great video Chuck. Have a 2017 Grand Sport (Collectors Edition) with the Z07 package; came stock with the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 ZP tires. I replaced the stock tires after 3,000 miles with Michelin Pilot Super Sport BW XL tires in the front and Michelin Pilot Super Sport NO (Porsche Carrera GT) BW XL tires in the back, based on the recommendation of my friend Paul at Radial Tire Co. in Silver Spring, MD. Love these tires and Paul gave me a great deal. Did not get the run flats but added an inflator package that I keep in the car. Obviously much better in the rain than the Cup 2 tires and WAY quieter. I don't drive my Vette in the winter so I wasn't concerned about driving in cold temperatures. I re-mounted the Cup 2 tires on new wheels for the track days. You are absolutely correct that the Cup 2 tires are only good for the track days. Super Sports, or the others that you discussed during this video, are the way to go for street driving.

[@deanporostovsky9547]

Awesome! Garage Talk Episode 1......Great job, Chuck! Glad you're back & can't wait to see that new awesome ride. You're going to love the stripes!

[@Corvettes918]

I am looking forward to it dean. Thanks for stopping by. 👍👍

[@ngeris]

So much info in here Chuck. Love the idea of this series and looking forward to many more!

[@blazing9034]

Great video!!! I just posted a video sharing my experience with my Corvette and my recent 1,200 road trip and I will always buy run flats; I am 100% sold on them......anything to avoid getting the car towed. I daily drive my Vette and love it!!! Glad you are uploading videos again

[@larrylentz2592]

Thanks Chuck and glad your back. I have a 2011 grand sport and plan to get as 3 Michelin tires before driving to the anniversary celebration in August. I have eagle F 1 now like new but feel the need. Thanks for going over some C 6 info, there is still a lot of us out there and going to Carlisle for over 20 years for the whole weekend. It is a shame manufacturers forgot about us and only see the C 7. We are still here and love our cars.

[@eddean6663]

Almost 20,000 miles on my 2015 Stingray. Tires have worn well. propbably go with the a/s Michelins when I need them. Thanks for the info Chuck. Glad to have you back.

[@Corvettes918]

Thanks Ed, I appreciate you sharing.

[@johnsimpson9781]

The AS3 is what I'm looking for too. I'll be wearing out my stock tires this spring/summer and I think this is the last winter I'm storing my vette. I wont drive it in the snow but dang I spent too much money to only drive it 5000 miles a year. I'm digg'n the garage talk Chuck 👍 Great idea for the channel! Happy motoring brother !

[@Corvettes918]

We now have some great tires so that we can drive this amazing car year around. 👍👍

[@ryanmac2900]

Awesome job! I had heard of factory alignment issues and tire wear so you answered my question and glad you put the alignment settings below. I think this will be a valuable change you made on your channel, it would be very nice to be able to collaborate with others in one place when questions come about and help a great deal with decision making instead of searching all over the net.. I think your heading the right direction!

[@Corvettes918]

I plan to discuss all sorts of topics concerning corvette owner ship so that those videos are always there for a resource. Thanks for being apart of the community sir

[@bernardthomas8638]

Mine is my daily driver. Bought it in 2016, and already have just over 30000 miles on it. Great video as always!

[@Corvettes918]

Awesome love my DD brothers. Thanks for the feedback Bernard. Happy New Years

[@RickCorvetteConti]

LOVE GARAGE TALK, Thumbs up Chuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@downsouthtv4616]

Rick Corvette Conti been trying to get in touch with you. I know you're a busy man so I'm being patient. But I would love to talk to you about getting into a corvette

[@randyrhodes7526]

Good tire info, it is true the factory alignment is more track focused and eats front tires, my C6 GS ruined the fronts at 7k miles and I drive very conservative, now my C7 Z06 is doing the same at the same mileage, I see new front tires by summer, like always big thumbs up, The General over and out !

[@Corvettes918]

Yes they road/track aligned. That’s why I am going with the AS3 when the SS are done. Thanks General 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@alaneasterday8327]

Hi Chuck, I have the Extremecontact dws all seasons on mine. They ride and handle very well; no issues so far. I definitely would get a shirt if available. Its great to see you back. Keep up the good work sir!

[@Corvettes918]

Thank you sir for the feedback

[@1CleanC7]

Great video Chuck, glad to have you back making great content. I'm 34 from California, bought my 17 Grand Sport from Rick, came with the zo7 package and man the cup2 tires suck. I have the new As3 run flats and it's a great tire and a great ride. Looking forward to the next video.

[@Corvettes918]

Thank you Chris for that feedback on the AS3, I think its going to be a great tire that won't break the bank.

[@davepicken3867]

Awesome content Chuck - tires are always an issue but I know now more than I did 30 minutes ago and I know what I’m going to purchase. I trust what you share - thanks Chuck for coming back and sharing your experience, knowledge and personality! We missed you! Welcome back! Dave from Thornton,Colorado

[@Corvettes918]

Thanks Dave. We now have more choices than we did a few years ago and thats because there are allot more C7 corvettes out there. I think the AS3 is going to be very popular

[@cubpilot4897]

Good job Chuck! As far as driving your Corvette. I'm in the drive it club. Got my C7 GS in middle of January 2018, in storage until middle of April, drove it home, put away middle or end of October (Central NY is home). I don't drive mine much, just a bit over 15,000 miles on it when I put it away! A big part of that was my trip to Spring Mtn and back. Did some sightseeing on the way back, all two lane roads until I got out of Colorado. Had a great time!! Glad you have come back home.

[@dennismcgregor5676]

Thank you so much Chuck this was very informative and I enjoyed watching the video I hope they are all in the same format that holds your attention. Good luck with the new car I can't wait to see it

[@Corvettes918]

The garage talk will be a weekly bi weekly program but I will also bring doing other videos with the Z06 when it arrives!!

[@Negron21]

Great vlog Chuck! Another good video to earmark and re-watch when I finally get my first Corvette. 😊

[@Corvettes918]

Thanks Jose, Your time is coming sir.

[@Skeetersbuzz]

Love having you back....great video. I learned a lot as I always do, from you!

[@Corvettes918]

Thank you sir!!

[@Capricorn2500]

Thanks for all the info and I will definitely be looking into the tires you recommend!🏁🏁

[@bobsvette4834]

This was a great vlog. Very informative and something that all of us Corvette owners will need sometime. Thanks again Chuck.

[@Corvettes918]

Thank you Robert

[@bobbymy3vettes415]

Hey Chuckles! Garage talk rules! This will take Corvettes 918 to the next level for sure. My tire of choice is the Firestone Firehawk. Great dry & wet weather tire, with good milage too. They are a run flat specifically made for the C-6. I put them on my 90 & 05, getting over 20k miles per set. I daily drive as much as the weather will allow. Being up in the mountains of NE Pa, winter driving is limited. Great show my friend! 👍😎😁

[@mdolandese]

Great video Chuck!!! luv the Garage talk keep it coming!!!! Can't wait for more content!!!!!

[@Corvettes918]

Thank you Michael

[@terrysmith7236]

You got your channel on -way to go! Glad your back- garage talk will be great! Just bought new tires for my 17 ZO6- got the pilot super sports- run flats. Got 15k out of factory tires. Good luck!!

[@Corvettes918]

Thanks for the feedback sir!!

[@paul3180]

Don't forget that winter tires are optimized for temperature as well as there being snow on the road. Ideally, two sets of wheels are the way to go. Summers or all seasons on one set and winters on the other. One day when I finally get a Stingray that's what I will do. I live in the Albuquerque area and it's chilly here in the winters and I can definitely feel the difference with grip having not put my winters on (just moved and they are still buried in the garage), I'm still running my all seasons.

[@Corvettes918]

Great feedback 👍🏻

[@SmurffC8]

Chuck I just got a 2019 Torch Red Corvette Convertible. With the Black Rims. And never paid attention to lug nuts. So I ordered the Black ones you posted. Thanks. Glad your back.

[@wetlookfashion4883]

You made me really thinking. I am driving my PSS on my ZR1 in cooler weather and if I floor it at 60mph in less then 50 degrees it still breaks loose. Those AS4 might be perfect for me. Great video

[@wetlookfashion4883]

Especially when the supercharger gets that nice cool air you wanna have the grip

[@yamsaz]

Great video Chuck, lots of good info and I agree, these cars were made to be driven! I was out at the Ron Fellows Corvette owners course at Spring Mountain last month and they gave very positive reviews of the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ ZP, I plan on putting a set of them on my Grand Sport once the factory Sport Cups are worn down

[@ISUringman1974]

Chuck, Magnetic Ride was a $1795 option on my '14 Z51 and I think it is still an option for Stingray. I'm pretty sure that the Grand Sport, Z06 & ZR1 have it standard. I agree that the Michelin A/S 3 + seems to be the best choice unless the car is on the track a lot, assuming it isn't noisy. I've read reviews that complain about that. --- And yes...anyone who owns a vette: DRIVE IT!!!! (enjoy it!)

[@Corvettes918]

You are correct sir. I found out the answer after I shot the video. It is standard on Z51 and up.

[@troyknight9744]

Great Episode Chuck!!! I've always been a Nike Fan but tried on a pair of Under Armour shoes last year & I was sold! Only Shoes & Sports Clothing I will ever use again! Glad your back brother!

[@Corvettes918]

I like them both but lean towards Under Armour

[@glennk9985]

Great video Chuck with an objective view of the options. I replaced the Super Sports on my 2017 Z06 with Sport Cup 2s and what a world of difference on the track. I just do occasional track days and love the Cups but it was quickly apparent that nobody who does not track their Vette should get Cup 2s as they don't stick well until the temps get above 150 degrees F and it is virtually impossible to get them to that temperature on the street. The wear on the Cups is slightly better than the Super Sports but the Super Sports have much more tread vs only 5/32nds on the Cups so the SS will last longer in terms of actual miles. The SS tires also are warranted on the front for 30,000 miles and 15,000 miles on the rears. Just keep your car aligned properly or else it can void the mileage warranty.

[@marcuss2956]

Great vid Chuck. I have a 2016 Z51 with 32,000 miles on her (daily driver). I got about 29,000 miles on the original tires. I went with the A/S +3 ZP, great tire so far.

[@Corvettes918]

Thanks Marcus for the feedback on those tires. I will be joining you once the super sports are done on the new Z06.

[@peterjones8324]

I got Pilot Sport AS3+'s on my Mustang GT, I absolutely LOVE them. Living in Wisconsin in spring and fall I do end up running in cold temperatures and once in a great while. They are absolutely wonderful. The are decent on the track but in cold temperatures and light snow they do very well too.

[@amoslyaround]

Chuck, this was perfect timing for me. As you know, I've got a ZR1 on the way from Rick and I have been concerned about finding an all season tire that would fit that car. Living in the Pacific Northwest I will need a tire that will allow me to safely drive my Corvette most of the year, if not all year. Looks like you have done the heavy lifting for me! This was an excellent video! Very informative and I'm going to really enjoy your Garage Talk videos!

[@Corvettes918]

Thanks Paul, I think the new AS3 Tires are a game changer for life after the super sports and cup 2's. Where you live I would plan on selling the Cup2's coming on the ZR1 or if you are going to take it to the track keep them for that. Otherwise look to move the cup2's for the AS3 pretty soon. I know you are excited about the arrival!!!

[@amoslyaround]

@@Corvettes918 Yes, I am beyond excited! And that's a good plan for the tires. I'll change them out as soon as I can. I really appreciate the feedback.

[@Vetteman6363]

Great video,glad to see u back making videos again!👍🏻

[@Corvettes918]

Thank you sir 👍👍

[@Corwin74]

SO happy to see you back on KZbin Chuck!! I'm currently running Pirelli PZero's on my Audi S5. I run the summer tires most of the time and the PZero all season tires in the winter. Both tires are Y rated to 180+ mph and although I can tell a little bit of difference in grip between the two tires, the all-season tires still give me a lot of grip and they last 50k+ miles vs 20k (at most) for the summer tires. The all-season tires are a little bit more expensive for my car (265, 35, Y19) but since they last 2-3 times longer, they are a better value overall, especially if you live in an area that gets a lot of rain or snow so for someone who doesn't want to run 2 sets of tires and wheels, I'd suggest the all seasons unless you live in Arizona or Southern California. Just my 2 cents and as always, your mileage may vary. Can't wait to see your new Z06 in the next couple of months!

[@skslone9450]

Great video! I ordered a 2018 base Stingray coupe 2LT with Z51 wheels and summer only tires. Wow those things are really soft and pick up every rock imaginable! I could have ordered the magnetic ride control but did not, so I would assume from that it does not come standard on a base Stingray but is available. Glad your back sir!

[@Corvettes918]

Thanks Mr. Slone for the feedback.

[@rodneybowyer2329]

Enjoyed the vlog,even though it was a little long. You sure put out a lot of good information about what tires to put on a ZO6. I totally agree with you & when my 2016 ZO6. Is ready I plan on putting on the Michelin sport all season run flat tires. Looking forward to seeing your new ZO6 that you have on order & glad to hear your delivery date was moved up.

[@Brad_James]

Very informative Chuck, I like the new discussion!!! 😎😎😎👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@christopherbrady5906]

Love garage talk. Just got my 2016 Z06. Tires were new, so hoping they last for a little while. ;-) I'll have to take a look at what they put on there. Love Under Armour and your channel so I'm in on the shirts! Thanks Chuck!

[@Corvettes918]

Congratulations Chris on the new Z06, Drive the wheels on that car 👍😎

[@edwardsharp1606]

Hey Chuck, it is a real pleasure watching your videos!Glad you're back!

[@Corvettes918]

Thank you Edward!!

[@kenfldude]

Glad to have you back Chuck. I have a 2016 z51 and mag ride was a 1700 option at that time. Pretty sure it became standard equip on the 2018 and newer sting rays.

[@Corvettes918]

Thank you Ken Thanks for sharing.

[@michaelklobuchar4549]

Hi Chuck, Timely vlog for me as I'm down to the wear bars on the fronts--less than 13k--rears holding up better. 2016 Stingray is my daily driver--fortunate to live in a mild climate. Your commentary and advice from others has saved me a whole lot of research time--thanks much. Garage Talk is a home run--great job.

[@glennk9985]

Michelin provides a 30k mileage warranty on the fronts and will honor it provided the wear is even and you didn't track or abuse it. Don't let the tire dealer tell you the fronts only have a 15k warranty. That only applies to the rears and the Michelin promise plan clearly documents that.

[@michaelklobuchar4549]

Thanks much for the information Glenn--I will pursue this on my next service visit.

[@ronnieowenssr.1419]

Great job rick my man thank you still got my ,zo6 over 10 thous.on it I still got my zl1 1le love them both brother

[@lfrank3508]

Great video! Like the topic, tires you always need to be informed well enough to select the most appropriate tires for your ride. 😀

[@jonesygw]

Thanks Chuck, looks like I’m going with the Michelin AS3 ZP for my C6, thanks for the valuable input.

[@robertjakicic5878]

Great information Chuck, tires are so expensive and finding the right one that best suits your needs is critical.

[@Corvettes918]

Totally agree

[@stevefoisy4834]

Graet prrogram and thank you for all the good information on tires. I have been wondering what tire options are available for the C7 Grand Sport and Z06 and is a big concern if you drive your Corvette in anything but bright sunny days in the summer. I unfortunately don't currently own a Corvette, but I definitely agree with you about Corvettes being built to be driven. I lived in upstate New York and drove my Corvette every day. I am not sure if a C7 Z06 would be as good in the snow as my C3 with a 435 horsepower 427 cubic inch engine. Driving that car on snow covered roads taught me all about traction and car control. I am looking forward to more of your garage talks.

[@martinhoffman9147]

Hey hey Chuck great video. 2015 Zo6 owner after 10k went with the as3 runflats very happy with them. Have a great day.

[@kennyrc51]

Glad you came back, Chuck!

[@rinaldocatria4386]

Great info Chuck👍.. I’m glad I swapped out the Cup 2’s for Pilot SS’s on my ZR1 before taking delivery. Had Discount Tire Direct ship my tires direct to Rick Conti and sold the Cups on Corvette Forum. Worked good and had the benefit of having Ricks great Corvette Tech Chuck Metts do the swap without scratching my wheels.

[@richsmithville]

Thanks Chuck. I have been thinking the exact same thing on my next tire for Z06. I have 11500 miles and tracked the car once and they look like they need to be replaced. Also need to align it.

[@juancpereira5062]

Good morning Chuck. Thank you for the great video, and yes I agreed with you 100%, Enjoy your car, I have a C7 Z06/Z07 and is my daily drive and i love it and enjoy it everyday of my life. Thank you

[@Corvettes918]

Love to hear from the DD this car has great gas mileage and ride along with performance and looks.

@@Corvettes918 I have no complaint about it, I'm doing with the traffic in Miami to Broward at 4:00 PM in sport mode 15/16 mpg, on this month that a lot of people are in vacation and traffic is much much better I'm doing 18/19 mpg

[@lonestarcollectiblezcom2602]

Thanks Chuck, really great content and appreciate your opinions on tires! I bought a ‘16 Z06 wZ07 package and I have those Cup 2 tires and I not a fan for the way I drive my vette!

Good to see you back. I had just started following you when you left. Good to see. you back

[@Corvettes918]

Thanks Taylor.

[@yololol]

Which tires should I go with on my z06? As you prob know, the stock z06 tires love to pick up gravel and spray itself on that rear quarter panel. If these grip, they prob have that same issue right? What tires are better at not slinging pebbles but that have decent grip?

[@legod1717]

Great job Chuck! Don’t need tires yet but I’m convinced the AS 3’s are the way to go for my Z51. Thx!

[@Corvettes918]

I think they are the ticket

[@mspencer9]

I daily my 2014 Z51 Stingray without mag ride. Love the car! Closing in on 50k glorious San Diego miles. Picked up 2 nails on the OEM ZP Michelins, replaced them with the Non Run Flats, Best Idea Ever! Just keep a can of Slime in the storage compartment in the hatch. I recently got some wider Forgeline Wheels and plan on getting 255/295’s Michelin Pilot Sport 4S on there when I come back from my deployment.

[@timothywells7513]

Great information Chuck, so glad your back

[@alanallgower8318]

Glad to see you back Chuck! Great VLOG and Hook Em!!🤘🏻Sorry Chuck 😉

[@Corvettes918]

Thank you Sir!! Great win for you guys!!!

[@carlcewinski6245]

Good, informative video, Chuck. I have a '16 Stingray Z51 without mag ride dampers. It's a little stiffer than my C6 mag ride car. Wife and I both love taking long tours in the '16. Pilot Sports tires excellent in So Cal desert but be careful in 25 degree Tenneesee weather; slow and go in the cold!

[@deefarley5445]

Hey Chuck. My wife called me I was on the road home. She said Chuck's got another video. I got my home and reclined with a cold one or two and could of better way to wind down. Great video Chuck. 19000 on my cup twos going with Michelin all season. $1350.00.

[@Corvettes918]

I appreciate that Mr. Farley have a great weekend!!

[@jrossrmg]

Thanks for the video. I have a C7 Z06 and I'm looking at getting another set of rims. What about a video of good sources and different options for rims?

[@johnsmithth3318]

Yeah glad to see you back, good video, yup these tires will not last long, maybe 25k? I've got a 92lt1vette with worn out falkens. The main thing is really rebuild motor and exhaust, tires/wheels

[@daltonthornleyjr9486]

Chuck I love your channel this is Dalton From Charleston South Carolina I am new to your channel. I owned a 1989 Corvette loved it looking to get another one. I appreciate all the hard work you put in 😎

[@falconator3419]

Thanks for the info. I almost bought run flats for my Vette after your video but then I saw Scotty’s video on run flats and well. See it for yourself. I went with non run flats.

[@billweber276]

Chuck, I sold tires while I was going through college. First, you can’t beat Michelin quality. I replaced my original tires (base Stingray 3LT), with the Michelin Pilot Sports AS 3+ ZP’s. Excellent tire for the 6,000 miles I’ve had them. I would highly recommend them.

[@dirkpittthegreat4559]

New sub. Bought a 2015 LT1 stingray. Was seriously looking at continental but after watching your vid I decided I better go with a run flat. The a s 3 bp is what you recommend? Need some guidance please. Thanks for the vid.

[@michiganracer1181]

Thanks for the video, tires have been a huge question mark for me. I have a 2017 Z06/Z07 after some serious track days the Sports cup 2's are getting fit for track days only. Been looking for something to put on a second set of wheels that I can drive on the street and not worry about getting caught in the rain with SC2's on. living in Michigan I've decided to go with the Pilot Sport A/S 3+ looks like it going to be a great rain tire if need be. Definitely no winter driving!

[@glennjohnson1161]

Good morning Chuck. Hey I finally made that decision, purchased a white 2019 GS 3LT back in August of this year, (I had to settle for the 8 speed automatic, they just don't make that many with the 7 speed manual - damn millennials). Mine came with the Michelin Pilot Super Sport but they're summer only tires. Here in the Houston area, actually we live about 30 some odd miles north of the greater Houston area, but we do actually see days with temperatures below 40 degrees, even temps below 30 degrees are not unheard in these parts. I'd like to say thanks for a very informative video, good to hear advice from someone who claims that he's not an expert, a lot of us may beg to differ, but.. yes you answered my question on which tires to purchase. I've put about 2500 miles on it since date of purchase and have noticed slight "slippage" after backing out of the driveway and doing a sharp turn when the outside temperature was hovering around 45 degrees. I may track it someday but it's not really in the plans but I do like to drive my car, can't afford to spend this kind of money on a "garage queen". Anyways, thanks for all the good advice. Not a member of any Corvette club yet but I'm hoping one day to attend a gathering and maybe do a little cruising. Keep up the good work :-)

[@xxcryinoutloud]

Chuck, Great overview of the confusing world of tires for Corvette. I’ll throw one more for your viewers to consider. Nitto Invo high performance tire. I am an HPDE track instructor and drive my Z06 with the Z07 package on the track. Nitto is not a run flat, but the performance is super and the edge marbling is the least of any tire I have had. The different tread block are different sizes as you go across the tire width and compounds change depending which part of the tire the block is on which has given me superior wear. In addition my wife loves the new ride comfort, i also had the suspension upgrade done which is also super. We took a 1,500 mile vacation trip and she said she would now go anywhere with me it was so comfortable. Several instructors have switched over and this seems for me, the best of all possible worlds. Mark

[@patrickroberts6999]

So glad you're back Chuck, sorry I haven't welcomed you back before now, been a little crazy....lol

[@Corvettes918]

No worries Patrick so glad to have you sir.!!!

[@tomquesnel8630]

A while back I read on Tire Rack that the advertised mileage on a tire is cut in half if you have different size tires on the front and back.

[@chrisvise4939]

Great video Chuck. Do you know if the AS-3+ ZP's get better mileage on them compaired to the stock non-Z07 tires?

[@larrynewberry3500]

+ on tbe shirts Chuck. Glad to see ya back where u belong. Great job on the tires.

[@Corvettes918]

Thanks Larry 👍👍

[@stevedolan5065]

Good info I’ve been leaning toward the PILOT AS ZP and I think you sold me,,,,tnx

[@Dw4yne68]

Just traded a 2017 Grand Sport that I bought new for a used 2017 Z06 3LZ and Z07 package. It only has 700 miles on it after being owned by previous owner for 11 months.. I had the GS for 9 Months and was able to log 7,000 miles on it so I can agree with you on driving these cars. I'm also taking the tires off the Z06 by spring and replacing them with AS3.

[@Corvettes918]

I am always glad to hear guys are driving their corvettes. These are resilient sports cars and are great travelers. Sounds like the AS3 is the go to for sure and save some money. When do we ever get to say that when owning a corvette. 😂😂

[@Puma.predator]

I’m buying a C6 Corvette soon (LS2 6.0). This video did helped me. I equipped my 2019 Camaro 2SS with GoodYear EagleF1 Supercar 3. 275/30r20 front & 305/30r20 rear. I’m thinking of adding the same tires on the corvette, but I’m not 100% sure. What do you think?

[@johnholeman8127]

Excellent work. Now I have solid information. I live in Mississippi so no extreme conditions. I see my worries are now who does the work. I don’t trust dealership so going to have figure out who. Daily drive My stingray but only have 3000 miles so have time to figure out. Ty chuck very much. Newbie John

[@Corvettes918]

If there is a local corvette club those guys are a wealth of information for local places like this.

[@bobbypace2267]

Pilot Super Sport ZP for me.....great as always...I’m #corvettecrazy ❤️

[@musjons]

Hello i follow all your videos and i have a question i live in Quebec Canada (sorry for my english) i order my 2019 corvette grand sport and they call me to say they need to paint my stage 2 wing because i don't take the ground effect option i take only the wing not from GM i'm not sure if paint on plastic will be nice and will last? i need your opinion please!

[@michaelmcmillen3178]

Great vlog! I switched to the pilot all season 3+ and extremely pleased. Any thoughts why Corvette doesn’t offer an all season when ordering a new Vettes. The summer tires limit the driving time per year for many of us!

[@Corvettes918]

These cars are sold as a track ready car so they put basically track tires on them. If they offered the AS3 for example know one would buy the Super Sport unless they track allot but as stated in the video you can track the AS3 just as well. I am sure it’s all about the Money 😂😂

[@bigcod14]

Any updates? I know this is a older video what would you recommend today for C7 Z06 Thanks sir I'm in ATL

[@kolbydewayne7766]

I agree with you on the pilot sport A/S3 ZP. I have them and they ride great and I really can’t tell any performance difference between the Super Sports. These are amazing tires and who doesn’t love to save $500!! Great log chuck!! I really like this new format.

[@ISUringman1974]

Kolby Have you noticed more road noise? The reviews on DiscountTire.com complained that these tires are noisy.

[@Corvettes918]

Thank you Kolby for the feedback. 👍👍

[@kolbydewayne7766]

ISUringman1974 No sir, I find them very quiet. Now that the C7 have the insulated wheel wells I think most tires would be relatively quiet in the car. I don’t hear anything different from when I had the super sports.

[@ISUringman1974]

@@kolbydewayne7766 Thanks, Kolby. And, that's good to know.

[@joemessman1]

I tested the non run flat and the ZP on these tires for Discount Tire in Lake Havasu and I can say there was no more road noise on the ZP.

[@MJ-vv4jc]

Thank you Chuck, very helpful info .

[@Corvettes918]

Thanks MJ

[@CARTERCUSTOMS1]

GREAT VIDEO CHUCK AND HAVE A BLESSED DAY

[@alanrainey8081]

Chuck I plan to do Michelin Pilot AS3 + ZP’s I think it’s going eve the best all a around tire. 2010 C6 Couple, next year it will get a complete refresh, ZR1 body panels, skirting, splinter, paint, tires, wheels and interior

[@Corvettes918]

I agree with you Alan, $500 savings and best of both worlds you can't beat that.

[@frangalvan3703]

Great video Chuck! I would like to hear possible Solutions for the rear hatch rattling. It started about a month ago at 21,000 miles and it's so damn annoying. Possibly a future video
