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.

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.

...i hit a 2in puddle on the freeway going 70mph and the car never hydroplaned...

Great tire for performance vehicles has amazing traction in dry conditions and great wet performance i hit a 2in puddle on the freeway going 70mph and the car never hydroplaned. Only thing is it is a noisy tire but not obnoxious like other tires and the grip is so amazing it flings pebbles into the fender liner.

Love this tire for its tenacious grip in both wet and dry conditions...

Love this tire for its tenacious grip in both wet and dry conditions. Generally only get 12-15k miles out of it but those are fun filled miles on twisty roads. Old scca road racer still beating on his daily driver! Not cheap and needs to build some heat when driving in sub-30 degree weather (never in snow) but offers high, consistent performance throughout its life and I’ve burned through several sets.

...Well I'm approaching the wear indicators with 28,000 miles on them. And I always enjoy being in the pole position at a red light!...

Many stories about heavy EV’s like my P85D chewing thru tires, especially these super soft Pilot Super Sports. No way I’m supposed to get over 12,000 miles before their junk I was told. Well I’m approaching the wear indicators with 28,000 miles on them. And I always enjoy being in the pole position at a red light! Wife says “warn me when you’re going to do that ridiculous excelleration”. I think the secret to long tire wear for me is highway driving 90% of the time, and very slow turns on rough surfaces when maneuvering out of or into parking spaces.
Michelin Tires on my Tesla staggarded configuration are incredible! The performance off the all wheel drive is very impressive from the line. 0 to 60 in 3 seconds. Tires lock in tracking perfectly with full on Ludicrous, pulling HARD!!!
Tires provide the Same confidence on challenging North Georgia mountain roads. Extremely crisp & snappy steering. My overall score = 10.0
