Default Vette guys and Runflats

Just curious as to what tires you guys are running on your Vette's that aren't Run Flats, My Michelin Pilot Sport ZP's have worn and it's time to replace them.. and I'm not a fan of Run Flats myself as it's not going to be daily driven much longer..

I'm running Hankook Evo V12's. They've been a good tire. I also have Nitto NT05's and Nitto NT-01's for drags or autoX events.
