I’m running Extreme Contact Sports all around. They’re pretty solid.
Continentals are great and I'll probably give them a go next. UHP review was very positive for the Conti Sport Contact 6
I love my extreme contact sport, I drive aggressive and wild at times and it help keep me planted on the road
Honestly for the price, I prefer Continentals. Similar ride quality to Goodyear but at a lower cost.
The Continental DWS series tires are very popular with this car. I've been running them for around 3 years now and have zero complaints. They are excellent in the rain.
If you're interested in a good cheap winter tire the new Continental VikingContact 7's are super cheap on tire rack. I just got a set of four for $700 from Tire Rack and they handle great so far and are just as quiet (actually more so) than the stock 19's I had on before. Highly recommend them.
I ordered the Continental PureContact LS. Reasonable prices (I think they were 240 a piece with installation, tax, and balance from Discount Tire). No noticeable impact to rod noise or range. Supposed to be very good in all weather conditions and have a 70k mile warranty. Very smooth ride and definitely notice better handling in rain and the light snow we’ve had here.
Picked up some Conti Viking 7's from the dealer $1100 with steelies (tax included) for our GSW. The car is a beast with these new tires. So much traction!
bought new conti dsw had them mounted and balanced and the shaking begins 69-78 mph balanced three times and then road force determined three bent wheels, bought new wheels (same style) put on same conti dsw tires. Shake continued not as violent speed 72-76mph. balanced tires twice and then road force determined bad tire. continental warrantied tire and sent new.
I certainly hope they've improved them since '99, because mine were definitely Craptinentals. It was like driving on roller skates.
