Question New Rubber - Looking for suggestions and sizes

[Archman]

My stock 03 C5 Convert. Anniv. Edition is equipped with 245/45/17 fronts & 275/40/18 rears on painted special edition rims (stock) ....... majority of the posts that I have read on many forums have suggested Michelin Pilot Sports A/S 3'd as recommended good replacements ... noted though that some models of PS's aren't available in these exact sizes .... what are the issues (if any) in going one size (or two up) in order to keep the staggered pattern .... thinking of 'summer' branded Pilot Super Sport or Pilot Sport 4 S ..... wanting to keep the stock rims
All feedback welcome ....

I purchased my Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ (Run Flats) last year from Canadian Tire. They had no trouble getting those stock sizes and only took 10 days to get them to NL from Upper Canada. I have no complaints with them whatsoever.

Talk to your tire dealer. There are various size substitutions that may conform to the same circumferences you require. That's the important characteristic for not screwing with the computer.

Have a look at Continentals, you may find you can get close. Surprise, but I actually got mine at Canadian tire, had to wait a while for the rears but eventually got them. The original Goodyear F1's look brand new but are now collecting Old Age Pension.

While participating in the Ron Fellows Corvette driving school a couple of years ago, an instructor recommended the Michelin Pilot A/S tires for street driving. There may be other excellent tire brands available in your size but Michelin is the tire Corvettes come with from the factory.

I just got Toyo Proxes Summer installed and i love how they handle and they look great!

Continental Extreme Contact DWS6 tires may be available in the sizes you quoted.
I run Extreme Contact Sports but the DWS6 model has better weather ratings.
