Tires for my C5 ?
I want to get a new set of tires for my 2001 Vette. I have been searching on the net. I want a set that are smooth and quiet. i am not a racer , just love cruising with some performance when the urge hits me. I am also on a budget. Has any body tried the Continental ExtremeContact DWS tires. According to Tire rack, they appear to be pretty good. Any advice?....Thanks

I just recently (400-500 Miles) ago got some Firestone Firehawk Oval Indy 500's. I really like them. They look good, are really quiet and perform well for my driving style.
I got them from firestone, all the way around with the warranties and lifetime balancing/alignment for under 1k.
