The GTI would have performed much better on the summer tires, those all-seasons really are terrible.
Pros: better performance on summer
Cons: all-seasons really terrible

True dat. Contis ( ) + US spec ride height = GTI loses the armchair racer wars.

I was told to run right around 40psi in my Continental ExtremeContact tires. I was running about 38 in my Michelins with no adverse effects.
Pros: no adverse effects
The Continental ContiExtreme Contacts are awesome. In my opinion, they are the best kept secret out there for someone who wants a high-performance all-season tire.
Pros: awesome, high-performance
I'll second the continentals. I have them on my car for 2000 miles now and I think they are a great tire, good traction in all conditions. I had 205/50's on my car before and to me, they look too small in the wheel well. Just my opinion.
Pros: good traction, great tire
Cons: look too small

I got 205/55/15 Continental ContiExtreme Contact from Tire Rack. I think they were $68/tire. Best all-season performance tire for the price. Great dry,wet, and snow traction.
Pros: Great dry, wet, snow traction
They were replaced with 205/65 X 15 Continentals on VW alloys (15X7) and after 15,000km still look like new, but they are noisy.
Pros: still look like new
Cons: they are noisy

Mileage: 15000 km
Precisely the reason why I looked for the Conti's on my quiet, silky smooth ride new car. Until I ride in someone's car with better ones, I'm happy.
Pros: quiet, silky smooth ride
my new car, the white love wagon II , came with the conti's but I haven't even begun to break them in, or the engine for that matter with less that 200 mi on the car......but in my first impression the conti's seem quieter that the mxv4 pluses......
Pros: seem quieter
Mileage: 321 km
When the tires are new, or in the first half of their wear, they are almost identical in their performance--both quiet, good wet/dry weather performance and decent in the snow. *But* when I had my bimmer, the Conti's got seemingly harder and louder on the second half of their wear---which is normal for almost any tire with not much tread left.
Pros: quiet, good performance
Cons: harder and louder
