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!
I got a set of Continental Winter Contact SI from Canadian Tire. Pretty good tires imo.
I had them on my G. I liked them. They had great grip but were really comfortable. Only downside was a lack of steering feel, which I think was partly the car too. For a street car, soft sidewalls are good IMO.
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.
After a week with the DWS, I've decided to replace them with the OEM version of Pirelli all seasons. The DWS on my car aren't "loud", but the noise they do give off (high pitched whine) drives me nuts at highway speed.
