Continental ExtremeContac DWS
Had a set installed today and an alignment. Camber was at 22 degrees. 
Had Goodyear GD-D3.
10 mile drive home was....quiet. Pushed it a bit on a banked on ramp and seem to be as good as the F1's but haven't really pushed them.
Got 275/40-17 front and 295/35-18 for the back.

Just got two rears
Looks good , I just recieved Two rears from UPS for my C6 I need to mount . They will replace the run flats / fire hawks . Sounds like the ride should be better Than the RFs .
I really need to find taller front tires or kick up the sprung height a smidge . Even with angle shots at the speed bumps and driveways dead slow . This rig is an ant eater , I can deal with less down force and a hot running engine .

I have the DW only on my rears in 295/30-18" & so far they seem to be the best street tires I ever had. I had nitto's, GYSC, Toyo proxies & none compare. I was able to pull 1.8's 60's on a prepped track for drag racing & they seem to take hold well on 100 mph + road surfaces when making curves. Also a great weight reduction advantage over other tires in those sizes. I'll get a set for the fronts when the Falken 451's wear out.

On the Goodyear GD-D3 I got 29K out of them but that was due to the -22 degrees (front) on camber. A good bit out of spec. If the alignment wasn't hosed could have gotten about another 2-3K on them.
The DWS are really quiet. Really really quiet. See how they fair through the life cycle though.Took it out for some canyon carving yesterday and happy with the performance. Just a fraction worse than the Goodyear GD-D3 for dry traction. If the GY were 10 then these would be 9.5.
If you are going sticky tires, although I haven't run them, I'd go with the PS2.
