We will have to replace the stock tires with winter rubber. Does anyone have some good information on what is a good cold weather tire for the Corvette?

Most of us won't be driving in the snow but the stock rubber will not perform in the cold... Read Chevrolet warnings... Ive heard they mean it!

Thank you for all responses!

Was told at Corvettes at Carlisle that Michelin is making all season tire too. Not available from Factory with all seasons. Here is a description of all season version I found online:

Michelin Pilot Sport All Season Tire - 285/35-19 (2014 Corvette Stingray-Rear)

The Pilot Sport A/S 3 includes a W- and Y-speed rated Ultra High Performance All-Season option that's part of MichelinÕs Pilot family of low profile, high-speed tires developed for the drivers of high-end sports cars, sporty coupes and sedans looking for total performance regardless of the season. The Pilot Sport A/S 3 tire is designed to provide Michelin's highest level of all-season performance by combining dry road handling, wet road grip and year-round traction, even in light snow.

Pilot Sport A/S 3 tires feature MichelinÕs Helio compound made with sunflower oil combined with their Extreme Silica Technology to increase traction at low temperatures and on wet roads. Molded into an aggressive asymmetric tread pattern inspired by the Michelin Pilot Super Sport, its 4-, 5- or 6-rib designs* are tuned to complement tire width and feature more rubber and rigid blocks on their outboard shoulders to provide high levels of lateral grip that offer as much dry cornering capability as some competitive summer performance tires. Wide circumferential grooves help resist hydroplaning, enhance wet traction and help generate some of the shortest wet braking distances in the Ultra High Performance All-Season category. 3-D Variable Thickness Sipe Technology and unique biting edges in the tread grooves enhance cold weather snow mobility for all-season performance.

Variable Contact Patch 2.0 technology derived from MichelinÕs experience in endurance racing, focuses on evenly spreading contact patch pressures and temperatures. The tireÕs internal structure includes two high-tensile, lightweight steel cord belts reinforced with spirally wrapped polyamide cord to combine predictable handling and high-speed durability with treadwear and ride comfort.

Found this too for more winter tire:

2014 Corvette Winter Tires
September 5, 2013
The 2014 Corvette Stingray is equipped with Michelin® Pilot Super Sport® ZP run-flat summer-only tires. (Fig. 9) The Michelin Pilot Super Sport ZP tires are unique and aggressively tuned to provide outstanding handling, grip and road-holding capability in dry conditions.

If frequent driving on ice or snow covered roads is expected, customers may want to consider installing winter tires.

With winter tires, there may be decreased dry road traction, increased road noise, and shorter tread life. After changing to winter tires, drivers should be alert for changes in vehicle handling and braking.

Due to the limited production of the Corvette Stingray, the only winter tire currently available is the Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4. Other tires may become available at a later date.
