Conti DW on a C6
I am looking to put Continental Extreme Contact DW's on my 09 C6 when I pull it out of storage in a few weeks. Anyone have any experience with them?
I am going to have them road force balanced at my local Chevy dealer.
Not familiar with road force balancing but it sounds like the thing to do...
Also, because the Conti's are not run flats are there any recomendations on an on-board tire pump and plug kit that might fit into the small storage unit in the back?

I had them on a 2004 MB SL500. Extremely quiet. They have two different tread ratings for this tire. Get the higher or you'll only get about 10K miles out of them.

The picture shown is not the tire in question here. The gentleman above has the all season variety of the Extreme Contact tire, the DWS. The OP is asking about the DW (not all season) and not the DWS. The DWs are indeed quiet and the next tire for my car as I have the rears in my garage currently. They will replace the very loud but very durable BF Goodrich KDW's.
