Ditched the Goodyears for the Michelin. Far better tire for a street car. I'm pretty much just like you. I don't track my ZL1 but I try to make my commute to and from the office as fun as possible. I remember the tire guy saying, "but these tires still have meat on them".... I didn't care. Until they heat up, the Goodyears are crap. Its like driving on glass.

Just my .02 cents.
Not the SC3s, maybe the SC3Rs.

Right the Eagle F1 Supercar 3R tread depth is 5/32 and rated at 100

Tires are near bald when new!

Go hit standing water at 55 with the OEM tires then with PS4s or something similar. You'll feel the difference and have more confidence in the PS4s than the OEM tires.

No question the PS4 is the best street tire available, I just don't have any issues with the stock SC3s other than they throw up a lot of debris due to their sticky rubber.

The 4S is a Max Performance Summer that has better performance numbers than perhaps any tire.

However, the 4S is not a winter weather tire. If you want a tire for the street in all weather except ice/snow, and maybe do a little road course, go with the 4S. Tire Racks say it's "simply the best."

I've driven it on my GTRs and 1LE at temps above 40F since it came out. And they're "OK" at the strip too.

Michelin PS4S on my ZLE and trust them completely. They are such a major improvement over the stock SC3R’s for daily use. The SC3R’s were treacherous when cold or wet. And I don’t mean 20* temps cold, I mean just cold from sitting parked in a heated garage cold... until they get warmed up to sticky hot, they spin like crazy at just slight throttle input. Looked silly doing mini burnouts just accelerating from a stop light with normal throttle input.

Thanks for all the feedback! Going with the PS4S tires. I never believed the white-knuckle experience at slow highway driving in the rain until I experienced. Just safe, comfortable, or needed. I am actually going to order for both my ‘15 SSLE and my ‘20 ZL1. Appreciate the info!
