Continental ExtremeContact DWS(Ultra High Performance All-Season)
I just purchased a set of 4 from Tire Rack and will have them installed next week. Read the review on the Tire Rack site and its all positive from C6 owners. Appreciate any feedback here

They sure are inexpensive for high-performance. Just a tad under what I paid for a set of Toyo Proxes T1r. Hope they prove to be great tires

Just the kind of info I need Thanks!
Like I said, I will give some feedback once I receive the tire and have them installed. I live in MD and DD my C6, so a good all-season tire is essential for me. Love the price, too

good siping and small dense tread block design. should be good in the rain for sure. You may sacrafice some dry traction though, there would be a lot of tread squirm on hard acceleration with all those traction groove cuts and sipes in and around the tread blocks.. no biggie though.

No experience with them but they "look good on paper"

Yes.
Like I said, I should receive them on Monday or Tuesday and have them installed same day. I'll post up feedback after I put some miles on 'em

I have these tires on my 2009 Accord Coupe with 18" Enkei wheels, I have just over 18k miles on them now, I love the tire. Amazing in the rain and snow, I am not sure about dry performance because, well, they are on a honda... lol Seriously, I don't drive my honda hard, my advice would be this, if you are just using your vette as a daily driver or not going to track your car, then these should be a perfect tire, long lasting wear. I keep these rotated every 5k (not an option on your vette of course) but they have little wear after the 18k miles.
