Excerpts from conversation with large online tire vendor:

VENDOR: They actually haven't been used on the ZL1 yet
VENDOR: the 305 size has yet to become available
VENDOR: This tire is 6 months old and 305 has essentially never been available
VENDOR: You would be, quite possibly, the first person to ever use this model on a ZL1
ME: hmmmmmmm
VENDOR: It is super popular on Mustangs, RS Camaros, etc.
VENDOR: not sure I like that - you know what they say about pioneers
VENDOR: But has not been used on a ZL1 yet
VENDOR: If you want an all season tire they will be your only choice
VENDOR: The tire selection for the ZL1 isn't exactly the largest, unfortunately.
VENDOR: Such a rare sizing set up
ME: I dont really plan on driving it in the winter, it never even sees rain, its a second car but I would like to be able to move it in the winter without worrying about cracking tires, and driving it in temos below 50, I'd like not to kill myself. (two issues with the OEM tires)
VENDOR: haha
VENDOR: To be honest with you, an all season tire on a ZL1 is almost a crime
VENDOR: You are giving up so much performance to make those small gains

(think I will pass)
