Tires Continental or NANKANG
I know it’s controversial to put all seasons on a Corvette, but my god are they fantastic. Unless you drive exclusively on the track, you’ll love these. I live in a state where a sunshine and 80+ degree days are limited, and potholes are plentiful. I swapped out the OEM run flats with these and it made a world of difference.
If you drive your Vette regularly, I cannot recommend the Continental DWS06 tires enough
I just got the Continental DWS06 Plus in 235/40R18 for my stock MK7 and I've been happy with them.
Continental all the way. Their soft compound is objectively grippier than the MaxxGrip compound. And their super soft is wizard demon magic that grips like no ones buisness but is suprisingly long wearing.
Nankang's FT7 tires are good, cheap and can take quite the beating off road without shredding to bits. You won't need M/T tires for your usecase.
Conti Sport Contact Force tires. The absolute best summer tire. The testers are right, it's almost telepathic. 40 mpg on long trips.
Switched over to Continental ExtremeContact on all my other cars and noticed they feel good all the way to the bald spot. I’ve recently switched our MYLR to Continental and it feels great. Quieter, feels softer, and more confident in corners with the same PSI.
I ended up going with the Continental ExtremeContact after reading a bunch of reviews and am very happy with them
I swapped out at 36k to Continental EXtremeContact DWS06 (50,000 mile warranty). They were $1000 installed at my tire place. It looked like the stock Primacy's would have been $200-300 more. The Continentals are less efficient (\~5% or so), but the extra money I will spend on electricity over the life of the tire doesn't make up the cost difference. Currently have about 10k miles on the new tires. Can't tell any real difference in noise or ride comfort level.
I just replaced the OEM Conti TXs on my 15 Passat. Those tires were good only in dry weather-they lost traction from a start in wet weather and I actually got stuck in about 2\" of snow on a slight rise by my house.
