I checked on Tire Rack for the Michelin Pilot Super sport tires for the GP3. They have them in stock in the size 225/35ZR18/XL with a speed rating of 87Y which is 186 mph. The retail suggested price is $224.99 per tire. Tire Rack is offering them for $217.51 per tire shipped to an authorized installer. So, we at least have more than one option available in the U.S. for tires. I did notice that Clutch Wotan had some others that are offered on his post on another thread. Spring is just around the corner here in central Kentucky and I plan to put the GP back on the road in April along with some of my other summer toys!

 

You may even have a better price from Costco. I replaced the PSS on my new BMW M240i 3 weeks ago because it was safer to have 4 seasons tires for the colder winter months. I have a staggered set-up.

I got the PS AS4 and had a great deal.

 

The GP3 and the Z06 are April thru October cars only. I have the JCW with all season tires and a 4WD truck for colder months. I did put all seasons on the corvette, but it was a mistake that I won't make again!

 

It seems the latest Corvette has Michelin AS.4. Correct me if I am wrong. I cannot report anything bad about them. I have the 92Y and they are very quiet.

 

I have not had any experience with the AS4s, but they did get good reviews. I put the A/S 3+s on the JCW and they are great. I put them on the vette and they are OK for street driving, and touring. I don't track the vette and at my age those days are gone except maybe for Spring Mountain training or the like. I really enjoy backroad twisties with my buddies. I will most likely put the AS4s on the JCW this fall. I have been debating about the C8, I haven't driven one, but we did sit in one and check it out when they were making the rounds with it. Once the virus is somewhat contained we will attend the corvette club meetings and events and check out the new model. But, the minis are still my all time favorites. I loved the R56 JCW, but my wife convinced me to trade it in on the F56. I missed it for a while, but with a power module and mods the JCW is a great all around car. We plan to drive the GP3 to the MOTD if they have it, or just go anyway as we have already booked lodging for the event and we will just run with our friends on our own. North Carolina and Tennessee are mini Heaven.

 

I am too old for a Corvette anymore but I bought a brand new one with rare and expensive options back in 2000 and my wife was not happy to ride in. Sold it 5 years later with only 15K.

Recently, It was about time to get rid of the JCW Coupe after 6 years of flawless ownership. I have been very close to get a GP3 but I don't regret I passed. I still like to read if I miss something but I don't think so.

 

We just returned from running the Devil's Triangle and then went to Robbinsville to run the Unofficial MOTD. The GP3 had 5K and change on it when we left and now has 7,000 miles on it! We did our first run in a mini with a time less than 12 minutes for the complete TOD, not stopping at the lookout area. This car has an incredible oomph and seems to run better now than when we first ran it after the break in. I like it better every time that I drive it. The torque steer took some time to get used to, but once I figured things out I think I have adequate control. We ran with some minis, mustangs, Fords, et. al. Best time we have ever had on 129! I haven't run it against our Subaru buddies or the type R Civic yet, but maybe someday. Time for new shoes now, but I am not sure what to put on it. I didn't like the Hankooks at first, but they came through on this trip, but they are showing some significant wear. I rotated them before the trip.

 

We drove the GP to one of our favorite eateries about 25 miles from home last night and when we left a flat tire message popped up in the message center display and sure enough we had a nail in the tire. Rats, but I put some fix a flat in it and probably toasted the sensor, but the pressure held and it worked fine. I ordered a set of Hankooks last night and I am having them shipped to our favorite auto shop and they are scheduled to arrive next Thursday. There was still enough tread on them to get a few more miles on them, but I decided to just go ahead and put new tires all around.
