Another tire question
I know that some are running 275-40/17 in the front rather than the stock 265s.
Does the 275 look that much different.
I really would like to get the conti extreme DWs, but they no longermake the 265s

post a side profile of your car, wouldn't mind seeing the 275/295 conti difference
dws and dw have a similar sidewall
why did you put a dws on a corvette anyway? just for the couple db quieter ride?

So I wanted the All Season capability, hence the DWS. They are coming off as soon as the new Vredesteins get here. 30,000+ miles on the DWS and they never saw any S at all.
This is as close to a side shot as I could find .... probably can't tell anything but here it is:

wear down the rears a little faster and it could be .3"
borderline TCS issues
the NT05 works because it's a short 275 and tall 295
contis are standard case

Has there been documented evidence or a press release from GM that this could cause problems with the TCS?
