Picking up a full set of Conti Extreme Contact DWS for my 06 base. Out the door price with lifetime everything is $808.00 .
If you have the same on your car are you happy with them? Running MCH Piot Sport A/S Plus now and not pleased with the ride.
I have the Z51 option if it makes any difference
Thanks.

I don't have the DWS but the have had the DW and now running the Contact Sports. Love them, I also have the Z51. But my guess is that much of the ride you dislike is in the Z51 suspension, but I hope the new tires work out for you.

$808 out the door is a great deal.

I used the DWS prior to switching to wider rear wheels/tires. If they made them in the correct size I would have gone with them again. I think it is a great tire.

Are you looking at the DWS 06? I used these on my S2000 as winter tires since no one made tires that had front and rear fitments.
I was pleasantly surprised at the performance.
Now, I don't pay much attention to ride... in the summer I used summer tires, and now that I have a C6 Z06 will only use summer tires and ride quality is not a factor for me. For sure, I've had run flats on other cars and going away from runflats improved performance and ride and I was happy about that. I just cannot say how the DWS06 compares to others in ride quality. But they are good performance tires for an all season.
