CONTINENAL EXTREME CONTACT TIRES

[JSH]

Hi all, was wondering if anyone is running these tires on there vettes. will be purchasing a set of C5 Z06 rims (replicas) for base model C5 ,s, . Rims are 9.5 up front and 10.5 out back, and tire selections are very limited. So far I found these extreme contact A/S continentals-255/45/R17, and 285/35/R18 out back, and was wondering how they will look and fit. Reviews are pretty positive.

Hi J..
Last summer I installed CONTINENTAL Extreme Contact Sports on our ‘03 Vert.
Our Vette has Z06 wheels and many Z06 suspension mods.
I chose sizes 275/40-17 & 295/35-18 tires.
i previously had MICHELIN PS2s on the car. Very expensive and limited sizes available now.
We went on a couple of big trips, putting on a few thousand KMs With the CONTIs.
The tires were excellent

A lot of people have installed the Extreme Contact DWS6 tires for more of 3-season alternative.

I am running the DWS06 tires on my 2015 Stingray Convertible in stock sizes. So far I have put over 35000km on them, excellent grip, wear, ride and noise performance. Also were a great price point. No regrets, would higly recommend.

JSH keep an eye on the Canadian Tire flyers for Continental Tires on sale. I got mine from CTC at a really good price, had to wait a bit but worth it. I have not installed them on my Z06 yet but stacked beside the original Goodyears they appear to be identical in size.

I have CCW in 19" size that were built for a big brake kit. I am running Michelin Pilot Super Sports. I really like the look of the stock Z06 wheels so thus the new tires. If I want to run the original wheels on occasion I cannot put a brake kit on but I guess that is alright.

Good luck wth your search.

Great info guys, so on my base model 99 vert, the continental DWS6 275/40/17, and 295/35/18,s should fit and look ok, with the aftermarket Zo6 rims 91/2 fronts 10 1/2 backs. with no alterations?
