The Pilot Super Sport ZP (Zero Pessure) is Michelin's Max Performance Summer run-flat tire originally developed for C7 Chevrolet Corvette, which was introduced for the 2014 model year. In addition to offering temporary extended mobility, Pilot Super Sport ZP tires also deliver world-class traction and handling in dry and wet conditions. However, like all summer tires, they are not intended to be driven in near-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice.

Because the Z51 Performance Package takes the C7 Corvette to a more aggressive level of performance, Michelin has developed vehicle/size specific Pilot Super Sport ZP tires to permit fine-tuning features to match their vehicle application.

Vehicle ApplicationFrontRear
C7 CorvetteP245/40ZR18 (93Y)P285/35ZR19 (99Y)
C7 Corvette Z06P285/30R19 (94Y)P335/25R20 (99Y)
C7 Corvette Z51P245/35ZR19 (89Y)P285/30ZR20 (95Y)

All versions of the Pilot Super Sport ZP employ an asymmetric tread design that features a low-void outboard shoulder for cornering while their notched center ribs and inboard shoulder promote high-speed performance in dry conditions. Wide circumferential grooves and lateral notches help channel water through the footprint to maintain wet traction. Sizes for the standard C7 Corvette use a single tread rubber compound that blends dry traction, wet traction and treadlife; while the sizes for Z51-equipped and Z06 models feature side-by-side tread compounds. Different from the standard Pilot Super Sport tread compounds, one is designed and manufactured in the U.S. specifically for the C7 Corvette, and the other is made for racing applications by the same people and equipment that produce the compunds in Michelin´s Le Mans-wining race tires. The two combine to deliver near-racing-slick dry grip and handling levels, without abandoning tread life and wet handling.

Tires for all three models feature twin steel belts reinforced by spirally wound Twaron cord. The angles at which the steel belts are molded into each version have been tuned to balance performance and comfort. The steel belt angles used for the standard C7 emphasize ride and treadlife, while the angles used for the Z51 and Z06 tires focus on increasing performance and at-the-limit handling.

Twaron is a polyamide cord that offers a lightweight, high-strength reinforcement above the steel belts to enhance high-speed handling, wear and durability. It is applied using Michelin FAZ Technology (Filament At Zero degrees) that allows Michelin engineers to tune tension and strength by winding the cord around the tire circumference much the same way fishing line is wound onto a fishing reel.

Michelin Zero Pressure Technology reinforces sidewalls by adding run-flat inserts that allow tires to temporarily carry the weight of the vehicle in the event a puncture results in complete loss of tire pressure. The Pilot Super Sport ZP is designed to allow Corvette drivers to continue their journey for up to 50 miles at up to 50 mph. All three versions of the tires feature asymmetric run-flat inserts and casing components designed to broaden tire performances by focusing distinct functions on the appropriate sidewall. Inboard sidewalls feature a more rigid insert that increases sidewall stability to provide the majority of run-flat capability, as well as to transfer torque during acceleration, braking and cornering. Outboard sidewalls feature a softer insert that increases sidewall flexibility to maintain footprint size when cornering, as well as to enhance ride quality and tread life.

The front/rear sizes of the standard C7 Corvette are the same as those used on many C6 Corvettes, and they can be installed in sets on the earlier cars.

...wet weather traction is good. going through tropical storm ETA now and traction and stopping with inches of water on the roads is great...

Only 200 miles so far . Was looking for Michelin defenders LRE . but out of stock for more then 6 weeks at the time . So i took a gamble on these Continentals terraincontacts HT . so far these tires feel as good as the Michelin Defenders , ride is nice, wet weather traction is good . going through tropical storm ETA now and traction and stopping with inches of water on the roads is great . can't tell about longevity yet but will up-date when i get more miles on tires , So far happy with my purchase .

...They are a major improvement over the factory Goodyear Eagle LS-2 which had poor wet traction.

After reading the reviews for the Continentals I thought I would give them a try.
They are very quiet and smooth riding.I have them inflated to 35 PSI.

These tires helped keep us safe when we were traveling in the mountains of North Carolina in January in a snowstorm that had made the roads quite slick and hadn't been plowed in a while. Between the all-wheel drive of the Subaru and the sure-footed traction of the tires we were able to travel at a much better pace than most of the other cars...

These are outstanding tires for our Subaru Sport. So much better than the Yokohamas that came with the car in every metric. Quiet - Excellent Traction - Very Smooth (they actually seem to augment the suspension to smooth the ride) These tires helped keep us safe when we were traveling in the mountains of North Carolina in January in a snowstorm that had made the roads quite slick and hadn't been plowed in a while.

These tires have been great so far. They are very smooth, corner very well, really feel like they grip the road, and have only a very low amount of tread noise. The day after installing these tires we had a full day of heavy rain/freezing rain and these tires handled very well. I felt confident driving at highway speeds throughout the storm.

I'll also add that they are a good looking tire, with a nice looking sidewall and tread design. They appear to be a good balance of highway friendliness and rugged durability. I will update this review once we have a snowstorm, since that is the only condition these tires have not seen.

This tire has been great in the Vermont winters. While it is not a "deep snow rated tire" it seems designed to do very well in the deep snow. It is much better than the original equipment tires that I replaced. It has handled all Vermont snow, ice, slush, etc. with no drama at all. They work well when plowing and towing. They are a very quiet road tire and absorb bumps and road imperfections well. I have seen no problem with stopping distances or acceleration when I need it. I really could not be more satisfied.

...Traction is excellent as expected!...

They replaced OE Bridgestone Alenza 43 000 miles. First thing I noticed was the new tires have way less balance weights and run more stable. Second they are the quietest tires I’ve had, Alenza produced a lot of tread noise when was new. TerrainContact is slightly firmer but comfortable ride. Traction is excellent as expected! Extremely happy with my new tires!!

I just feel more contacted to the road and in-control with the Conti's...

I consider myself a tire snob. I spend more time than I care to admit researching tires online. For my Nissan Armada, I narrowed my choices down to two tires for my truck. I considered the Continental TerrainContact H/T, and the Michelin Defender LTX MS/2’s as my top two choices in the HT truck tire category. But the price was significantly higher for the Michelin’s, so I thought I’d give the Conti’s the nod.
I’m glad I did. I have to say, these tires are amazing. For the money, I feel these are the best truck tires on the market. They’re smooth, ultra-quiet, good looking, have excellent road feel, accurate steering, and they’re shockingly capable in the rain and snow.
My previous tires were the Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3’s which were also fantastic, but they only lasted 39k miles. I thought I’d step over to a true truck HT tire for my heavy Nissan Armada to get better tread life. These tires are not as buttery soft as the Pirelli’s. The Conti’s are slightly more taught, but that’s a good thing. I just feel more contacted to the road and in-control with the Conti’s. If you’re in the market for a truck HT tire, put these near the top of your search list.

...I just replaced them at 65K miles which is great and I would have run them longer if winter was not around the corner...

For years ago, I was running Michelins and when they wore out I decided to give these Continentals a try based on the reviews and price. I was not disappointed at all. The good ride and steering response are just as per the Tire Rack reviews. I just replaced them at 65K miles which is great and I would have run them longer if winter was not around the corner. The road noise was a little bit higher but I found it never to be really noticeable and never an annoyance. I was confident in wet conditions even as the tires started to wear. I live in South Dakota where we get real winter conditions. The tires were up to task and got me through both light and heavy snow without problem. I highly recommend them.
