It's time to replace the tyres on my C6 for the first time. It's a UK car so has the F1 Supercars - they've lasted 14K miles which is longer than I expected, but I'd like something a little less crap in cold weather this time around. A trawl of the Internet doesn't seem to offer many options as I want to stick to run-flats.

What run-flat tyres have you guys gone for on the C6, how would you rate them compared to the Supercars, and most importantly where did you get them from? (I'd prefer to buy them in the UK rather than get them shipped over).

On the US forums a lot of people are very happy with the new Michelin Pilot Sport 2 ZP. Equal or better traction in the dry, and loads better in the wet, they also seem to last longer. (ZP=Zero Pressure=Runflat)

I Think you can get the run flats from Costco! I know Ian Goss Services can get them in. The thing with tyres its really down to what you are happy with, I only stick with runflats so that limit's me in choice.

Are we seeing on Tuesday Gary at the Fairmile?
