I agree. I bought the Michelin Pilot SS tires for my Mazda last year, did a track day at Laguna Seca with em and drove all the way home on them. Not that I have a whole lot of experience with different tires, but they are the most incredible tire I've ever owned. They are more expensive than other tires, but so worth it.

When I saw the Stingray is getting them stock...I'm thinking hmmm....maybe its time to trade up

Initial impressions about my new C7 Z51 coupe - i had Michelin all season performance tires (Pilot Sport A/S 3's) put on instead of the summer only tires - picked up the car 4 days ago. The tires seem to have decent grip - although I am still in break in mode so I am not pushing the car too much. Going w/ all seasons seemed like a good move if you live in a colder region - and want to drive the car when it is cold and dry out - and don't want to worry about the summer tires cracking while they are being stored in an unheated garage.
