Jerry was very cool! Thanks Jerry

Getting the Magnecor wire set in a few days...

About the tires, My choices was DWS for the front because I could not find the DW.
Then I could get the DW at Sears for $260 taxes included.
Then I thought if I take a trip one day, I might be happy to have all season at least for the front.....

Hope it makes sense....

You do realize that by mixing the stickier DW tires in the back with all season DWS tires up front (harder compound / less grip), that you've built in a good deal more understeer? Don't be surprised if the car plows more than normal in fast corners. This isn't recommended by manufacturers and I wouldn't do it myself but it shouldn't cause you any problems at 7/10ths. I wouldn't push that setup at 10/10ths though. Also, your rears have a much lower wear rating than your fronts. That, combined with the fact that an SRT-6 will generally go through rear tires faster than fronts means the tires will wear at significantly different rates front & rear. You'll probably go through two or maybe three sets of rear tires for one set of fronts.
