Another vote for the DWS. Switched to them with less 200 miles on the car and have been very happy with them since. The factory Goodyears will tear up your paint especially if don't have PPF and rock guards. It's funny because you can hear the Goodyears slinging the rocks against your car as you drive . I would have switched for that alone.

I can indeed hear the rocks being flung up by the tires, im glad to hear that isn't EVERY tire. I was worried switching the tires wouldnt effect that at all. I am planning on getting Continental ExtremeContact Sport, but wanted to wear out these first. I am only at 710 miles right now. I noticed the rockguards made a difference already.

Yep. Rock guards made a big difference to mine too. The PPF just puts the finishing touches on. I think you will be happy with the Contis when you eventually switch. Good luck.

I did the rock guards at about 1200 miles but 27,000 miles from two sets of Goodyears did their best.
Car now has +64k miles.

Swapping to the Conti's earlier would have helped had I known they would have been such difference in paint abuse.

You could hear, hot or cold, the Goodyears just throwing everything in their path right at the sides of the car.


That being said, the Goodyears are excellent in response and warm weather grip, and would be the tire I would use on the track.

Congratulations! i also started out with a V6 in 2016, and upgraded ever since.

nice video, the music reminds me of arab trap.

Very nice car, another v6 to v8 jumper here myself and it’s a grand time.

Apart of the rock chips narrative, I bought my car with aftermarket side skirts and even the PPF from factory at the rear end of the rockers yet there’s now rock chips there higher up from the PPF. Rock guards are an absolute with these tires 100%

If you don’t mind me asking, what dash cam did you go with? I had AUKEY before and that was a huge let down when I needed it the most, my next option is VIOFO and from what I’ve read it’s what AUKEY essentially copied but slightly more expensive with the pro of an actual company behind it with updates
