The DSW06 is an all season tire, not the same as the Extreme Contact Sport but most people seem to like the DSW06.

The Continental Extreme Contact Sports are good tires. I had them on my 2016 2SS before I got a ZL1 and really liked them and cheaper than the Michelins too but will probably go with the GYs when I need tires on my ZL1.

I have the Conti's as my street set. Wear rate is in a different league (Conti's wear slowly) than the Goodyears but the car handles differently. Numb on center. Not terrible but noticeable. The Conti's are great in the wet. I actually had fun on a rainy event when I left them on.

I respectfully disagree. It happened on my Z and now this car. Every car I’ve owned that has wide sticky tires has some level of tramlining when transitioning irregular surfaces, mostly at speeds less than 45 mph. I consider it normal…

My sc3s don’t tramline and my camber is maxed out for autocross. Grip like hell and more than you need for the street for sure. Yeah wet situations not great. I have 9000 street miles and will go 20000 it appears, but I just drive normally

Not to be argumentative… and this is my last post on this. My car has minimal tramline with the skinny LT1 tires. It definitely has more with the SC3’s. And I do have an aggressive street alignment (camber) As has been stated below… ALL vehicles will tramline to some degree (it’s a fact). I’m sure the roads here don’t help. Oh, and this isn’t a knock on the SC3’s.. I personally love them. The OP asked if they tramline when new.. my answer and experience has been yes… like every other wide low profile tire (to varying degrees)


Any vehicle can exhibit tramlining due to uneven pavement or severe rutting in the roads surface. ” All vehicles tramline to some degree”, however vehicles equipped with low aspect ratio, wide tires tend to be more sensitive to this condition
