Hello, thank anyone that posted on tires, I have a 2017 Camaro 2LT Convertible, and comes with the stock "GY Eagle Runflats" and only had 20K miles on them and now started driving much more for work (than fly) so in the last month I got 1 large hole that was patched from Discount Tire in MI for FREE (that was nice & they do that for anybody!)

So about a year or 2 my wife got a set of tires for her SUV and they suggested their "certificate" it's an Tire warranty that covers up to the MFG millage bit also if the sidewall gets a nail or can't repair the tire then you would get the installation & tire at no cost, but you will need for the taxes & disposal fees, without a prorating like the MFG, but when I took in at that Discount Tire in MI they would not sell that as the date of MFG was in 2016 and the tread was low and only about 17000 miles, but ok. So a few days ago went to my local Discount Tire and wanted to see that it would cost for a tire rotation and my wife called then and was told no cost sine she was a past customer, NICE so took it in the day and while they were rotating them I asked could I get the certificate and he said yes, and that cost $275, so now with approx 20K miles and the life is about 10K to 20K left. So I purchased the certificate and after the sale was done and they just started rotating the times they came to me and they we found a nail towards the edge of 1 of the tires and that can not be patched! So after talking to them they said that since the nail was before the certificate was purchased that it would not be covered and I understood but later said that if I purchased 1 new GY Eagle Runflats tires that they would replace the tire with a new 1 since I did purchased the certificate so I needed to think about it and left.

So I searched for a good set of tires for my Camaro and came down to 4 MGF and so I had them order the "EXTREMECONTACT DWS 06 PLUS 245/40/20" because putting 2 new tires on with approx 10K-20K miles left on the orginal set really did make sense...

So just got back from Discount Tire and they looked good and only drove 3 miles back home ride was better, quieter and seam to corner as good on dry warm weather NICE! I have a 11 hr round trip Monday so I will know more, and can post more on how I like them. So the DWS06 Plus should have much better dry & wet handling and for Chicago snow hope better also. Cost wise they were less costly than a similar brands and they have a $70 Visa card and if you apply for a Discount Tire card get $50 also and they have a 30 day return/replacement if I am not happy with them a good deal, so if you have a Discount Tire check them out no I don't work or any interest in Discount Tire just a customer. Also note almost all of the reviews for the EXTREMECONTACT DWS 06 is not for the Plus as they came out first of this year 2021 and since I don't see the Plus in the name of the tire the only real issue I read was that they were for the EXTREMECONTACT DWS 06, so I just wanted to let others that maybe looking at this tire GET THE PLUS if you want a better cornering get the Plus.

I hope I helped anyone needing or looking at this tire...
