Superior? Maybe Pilot Cups but how about a more practical alternative? Like something I don't have to store under my bed in the winter months.

what alternatives are offered for the Corvette? Those tire manufacturers should have something for the ZL1 eventually.

I have NT05's on my Z06 they are non runflat and work well. Michelin PS2's are another option.
Since I have never run the G2 F1 supercars I don't know how they compare strait line and lateral grip. Both those options I listed are better than the G1 tire that cam on my Z06 IMO. these all have issue at cold temp with grip though. I never had any storage issues with PS2's or NT05's though.

The G1 f1 supercar RF goodyears on my Z06 had good grip in the corners when they were new but the stiff sidewall made the strait line grip suffer. about 9k all grip everywhere went away. When I went non runflat then I kind of got the best of both worlds better strait line grip. If I get a flat though I will need a tow or take my wheel somewhere.

I just want an alternative for tires that don't need the babying that the F1 G2's need. Lower grip in cool weather is just physics, thats not a prob but pulling tires evey winter and storing them in heated conditions, well, that ain't gonna happen I'm afraid.

If you live in Colorado (and I may next year) you can wake up one June morning with snow on the ground.
That makes summer tires problematic except for July & August.

Lol...ya. Did I hear something about Texas getting snow not that long ago? It's 46F today which is very unseasonal. Normal for this time of year here should be around 0F.
