Here is Chevrolet's view on high performance A/S tires vs Summer Tires for the new Corvette, and their reason for using A/S tires on the base version.
Excerpts from the article: ["Tires have improved to the point that today's all-season tires can provide dry grip that's better than what summer tires could do not that long ago."] ["This tire doesn't make the compromises that a summer tire will make when the temperature drops below 40 or 50 degrees, especially if it's wet," says Lee Willard....] (the tire he is talking about is the new Michelin A/S 4 tire, but pretty much the same goes for all HiPerf A/S tires vs Summer only tires, just not quite as extreme as 1.0g lateral...) https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a2...-season-tires/ |

1. Started with Pirelli Scorpion, run flat - I had no complaints 2. Switched to Continental DWS 06 Plus - too bouncy, but quieter than Scorpion run flats 3. Switched back to Pirelli Scorpion run flats - better handling IMHO, slightly noisier. I think the X5 is optimized for the the Scorpion run flats. |
