I have Continental extreme sports and love them Better straight line grip, much better ride and less noise.

I've called Tire Rack and Discount Tire. Both show the Continental Extreme Contact DWS06 Plus out of stock for at least two months unless someone can get me another lead? They had 18/19 in stock but not 19/20, which is what I currently have.
This may be a stupid question, but other than aesthetics, what is the advantage of larger tires?

Look into the Michelin Pilot Sport All-Season 4 tires if you do not want runflats. Tire Rack shows the rears available now with the fronts available in early November. Call them and see what they can do as far as a sale price goes.

Summer or All Season tires? Summer = Michelin PS4S and don't look back.

Contis or Michelins.
I put DWS06 on my other vette this morning. C7 still wears the Michelins.

They (Michelin) have a ZP version as well.

The michelin as4 non-runflats are awesome. I put these on my C7 and the grip is tremendous, plus they ride much smoother and quieter than the OEM tires. On my C6 I put on the AS3+.....I can tell you the AS4s are a big improvement. You won't be disappointed.

I love Michelins but the runflats are stiff and non runflats are only a bit softer. But if want softest & quietest, I don't think you can beat the Continentals.
