Those look good. Thanks for posting. Do they have a decent rim guard?

Sorry, car was dirty. Tires look better in person on the car.

Very nice. Do these pick up debris? The F1 Supercar 3’s sound like they’re sandblasting the wheel wells. I’m curious how the road noise is on these compared to a summer tire.

I will vouch for the Continentals. They're much quieter and smoother and I don't hear if at all any debris being picked up. And in cooler weather they hook pretty decently and I have a ZL1. With the F1's, I couldn't even apply mild throttle on a turn once weather got cooler around Low 50's.

Well, I have a new set of Continentals! Drove on them the first time this afternoon. I noticed a little debris being picked up at the very beginning, but that was no longer noticeable after about 1/2 mile. They seem to ride a bit smoother and a little quieter. I do think they hook better in these cooler temps. I never lost any traction in heavier pulls.

I’m thinking of listing the F1’s I took off for sale. Are they worth trying to sell? Seem to still have a good amount of life left.

tires look great! Did you end up going factory sizes 285/305 or wider?


How is the steering response / handling compared to the OEM supercar tires? I'm seriously debating swapping out for these as well, but I have read a few reviews that say the handling is a bit less direct, which is to be expected, but want to know how different it is.


Regarding stock tires - you definitely should be able to get a few $$ for them, post em up!

I just bought this car back at the beginning of the month, and with the bad weather, I haven’t driven it much. With just one short drive yesterday, they seem to handle pretty well. I hit a couple on ramps at decent speed (not too hard- child was with me), and they seemed to steer as good as the F1’s. Power delivery is better as I had very little wheel spin compared to the F1’s, which broke loose quite often in these lower temperatures.

For the kind of street driving I do, I think they are going to be perfect.

So I have these on my ZL1 because I still like to drive my car (on nicer days without rain/snow) so I had to have tires that wouldn't crack. Mine are the all-seasons primarily for the colder part of the year.

They do well enough for what I want it to do, which is just to enjoy a nice drive in 40-50 degree weather.

We had weather here in Kentucky about a week ago where the temp didn't get above the teens and the DW06+'s were excellent.

And then this weekend, we got a crap ton of rain. Drove 75 on interstate in the rain and had excellent traction.

I believe I made the right decision by going with these. Thanks to everyone who contributed info!

Update:

So far, I’ve only driven maybe 100 miles on the tires. Just had an alignment done to get toe zeroed and almost GM track spec camber. Today I ran some twistier roads and pushed the tires just a little. It was around 60 degrees. I can see now what some have said about these having just a little bit of ‘squish’ or push in the sidewalls. I felt it a couple different times, especially if adjusting the wheel input mid-turn. I’ll give them a little more time to see how they do or if I just get use to it. If it wasn’t for being able to drive these in colder temps without damage, I’d have went with the PS4S.
