I didn't feel like changing rims or tires a couple of times a year, so I replaced the run flats with Continental Extreme Contact 06 all seasons which are the exact same size as the OEM tires. I've been very happy with them, and surprised at how much quieter the car is with these tires over the run flats.

Enjoy the car. I will not offer an opinion on wet weather tires. It rains a good bit here and mine has not moved out of the garage all week.

I'm curious as to how long any tire is going to last without rotating. Haven't had a staggered setup for many years and the tires were a lot different back then.

Beautiful car man. Congrats.

Another happy soul! Welcome to the G6 community!

Just got back from my local Kal Tire and it looks like the best way to go, considering we don't get snow here in Victoria is to replace the Goodyear F1's with a good all season. He suggested Pirelli P zeros. I'll have to see. Would blow to have a brand new set of Run flats in the basement doing nothing, but sometimes that's how it goes. Probably for the next owner in a few years

The warranty on the Continental's say that the warranty is half (25,000 miles instead of 50,000) on the rear tires if the rears are different than the fronts.

My question now is what to do about these Goodyear run flats for the 3-4 months of cold rainy weather we get here in the Pacific Northwest. Run them and be careful, swap them out completely or change a wheel/tire combo every winter? I ended up with good all weathers on the TSX which worked well, I really want to drive this car as my DD all year
Any suggestions will be welcome
Thanks

I had the same problem in that I had a "08 Z06 and went to trade it in on a '16 Z06 but I couldn't fit in it as my knees hit the dash......I couldn't believe it as I have had many vettes and no problem fitting in them as I am 6' 3", (was 6' 4.5"), and weigh 255#. No matter what we tried to fix the seat....nothing would work. I sent GM a letter and complained but I have not heard back in 5 months. I did buy my wife a new base '16 Corvette and she loves it but I just get to keep it clean. So I bought the 16 Camaro SS and I have enough room in it. But I will say I had a 13 ZL1 and there was more room in it than the '16 Camaro SS.

BFG Comp-AS. Great reviews solid performer. Alot cheaper than P Zeros

If it doesn't snow in your area of BC please don't waste the money on new tires. The Goodyear RunFlats are fine. They actually have decent grip in the rain if you aren't driving like an ass. I drove my car all this past winter in Colorado except when snow was on the ground. I garaged it in a heated garage so I didn't have to worry about the cold weather cracking the tires. If the tires start warm they are fine even in cold weather, as far as cracking. I am sure it isn't as cold in BC as here in Denver. Keep the RunFlats til they need replacing, unless you are just wanting new tires.

Beautiful ride! If I could get a second, that's just how I would option it. Any plans for some black bow ties to complete the look?

Yes, I'm kinda leaning that way at this point. They won't give me SFA for these F1's so I may just give it a try, before I drop a bunch of cash on extra tires and wheels. Although I had fun shopping new wheels on the net for several hours with the various configurators.

Black bow ties are ordered along with the deep pile mats, rubber mats and Color matched mud flaps
