Looking for input on a new set of tires on stock rims. Ride comfort and looks are the most important and price as well. Leaning towards a set of Michelin Pilot PS2's just a little pricey best price out here is $1660 with road force balance. Looking to soften up the ride a bit since lowering on stock bolts. Thanks fellas

I had ps2's on my M6. They did ok new, but quickly became noisy and hard. I have a set of Conti Extreme Contact DW tires on there now, and 1.5 years later they are still quiet, soft, and have tons of tread left......and they hold 550 hp pretty good
Not sure if they make the right sizes for the z06 but would be worth checking out.

Vredesteins! Call Fairmont tires. $860 shipped. They're quiet, perform great and are THE best on wet roads. They dont make 265 up front so get 275. You wont even notice the difference. Search vredestein in this forum and you'll find a huge thread ALL about em. Peace!

KDW2's are running about 950 shipped either from tire rack or discounttiredirect...275s up front as well

....... I LOVE my PS2's but I believe Michelin has discontinued the 17" - not enough demand for that size tire anymore ???

I've had the Continental ExtremeContact DW's since they first came out a few years ago and love them. For whatever reason, they no longer make the stock-sized 265/40/17 for the front, but they have them in 275/40/17. The sidewalls on these tires may be a little too soft for those who do a lot of hard cornering.

A very similar tire would be the Bridgestone Potenza RE760. I'm trying these out for the heck of it, although I only have them on the front at the moment. They're just as quiet as the DW's, if not a little quieter. The sidewall is slightly stiffer than the DW's, but not stiff by any means.

Both the Continentals and the Bridgestones would be $1000 or less (installed) for all four.

I don't believe these tires are known for their comfort, so probably not a good choice for the OP.

I have a set of the continental DWS no complaints on perfomance and great price IMO.

Do you have the DW or DWS? Two differnt tires

Awesome, I will check all those out the price point is a lot more tolerable as well. Thanks a bunch!

Correct, they are very noisy and ride rough compared to other options. Definitely not what the OP is looking for.

Michelin Pilot super Sport is the first choice (price independent)

Nitto NT-05 is second choice (price dependent)

I put bridgestone potenza re760 and have been very happy with them, they were were affordable and performance is good. I think the michelins are probably best but you can almost install two sets of these for the price of one PS2 set.

I second the Conti DW, had mine about a year and they're outstanding, especially for the price!
