Monday, May 02, 2011 Michelin and Corvette Team Up
 Michelin has teamed up with Corvette again on a new original-equipment fitment for the 2012 Chevrolet Corvette. Selecting the Z07 package on the Z06 or the new PDE performance pack on the ZR1 guarantees the brand-new, Corvette-exclusive MICHELIN® Pilot® Sport Cup Zero Pressure (ZP) tires, featuring a DOT-approved, street-legal and track-ready design that draws from lessons learned in endurance racing.
The Michelin and Chevrolet Corvette partnership was born on the racetrack, with the first Michelin-shod C5.R racing in the 2004 Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring. After seeing racing success, the relationship grew to include more replacement tire options for Corvette owners. The MICHELIN® Pilot® Sport PS2 Zero Pressure (ZP) became the standard fitment for the ZR1 in 2009 and the MICHELIN® Pilot® Sport Cup for the Z06. The relationship deepens with the 2012 Corvette lineup.
