I don't shave tires, and I ran 150+ runs and a few thousand street miles easily on my Z2s last year. They still have life left in them.
Owner reviews for tires
Currently running Michelin Defenders and am very pleased.
My Bridgestone Ecopia tires (on it from the dealer) have a surprisingly high amount of grip.
The Michelins I have on my Truck are LRR. They ride better, handle better and steer better than the previous Dunlops. Fuel Economy has been exactly the same, terrible.
Bridgestone's have been amazing for me. Quiet, great traction in all weathers, and good tread wear. A little stiffer than other tires maybe but I prefer the handling anyway.
Kumho tires are the highest rated bang for the buck tire on the market. I will never buy another brand of tire.
I had a set of 4 matching Continental tires with about 90% tread left.
I have Hankook IPike w203 (couple of years older model) and don't have a single complaint (very happy).
I had them on the c5s, drove them prettybhard in all sorts of weather and they were great,.. But at the first sigh of snow they were horrible, barely made it home with a 1/4 in of snow.. Dry wet however was great and to me they seemed silent..
It's the tires...... My car came with the Hankook's and they are noisy lil bastards....
