Tire Recomendation
So, in addition to the rear main I also need a fresh set of tires. What are guys running? Up here in the Seattle area....little to no snow. Besides, if it snows, I'm taking my truck!

I'm using Continental ExtremeContact DWS...However, I'm in L.A. so I don't experience the W and S part of the car that much. However, I like the ride on them.

OK, just as a follow up....Got my V12's on yesterday and rode to work in the rain. Well, no rain but wet from a rain overnight.
Car drove great, no vibration (testimony to the balance I guess) and look great. Time will tell how they wear.
On a side note. Got them from Tire Rack and took them to Les Schwaab for mounting and they said "Nope, wont mount tires bought from Tire Rack"
Guess we take our tire business elsewhere from now on.
