CTS-V comes shod with Micheline Pilot Sport PS2 tires, 2010 GT500 and non-performance package 2011's come with Goodyear F1 Supercar tires. Having run the PS2's previously on another car, I can tell you there is a huge difference between the two tires in regards to straight line acceleration traction. The PS2's hook better than the Goodyear's, hands down.

They say the Goodyear F1 G2 tires that come with the 2011 SVT performance package are much better than the regular F1 supercar tires, but I'm not sure if that means grippier around the road course only or if they are stickier in straight-line applications, too. Time will tell, I guess.
