Tirerack has a good sale going on Continental Extreme contact DW summer tires in our size. $380 for the set in 968 sizes plus shipping and tax if applicable. I have a shipping center in CT so I'll pick them up but I have to pay sales tax.

Have run that DW tire on a dual purpose street/open track car and appreciated the ride quality courtesy of the soft sidewalls. They are a two edged sword though, at least on the DWS versions (google sidewall blowouts, been there done that to the rack and Conti's credit they made good on it)

Decent tire as long as you don't hit a pothole. They will not survive it.

A little over a week ago I bought and installed a set on my newly acquired 94 Grand Prix White Coupe. I took the opportunity to replace the aftermarket wheels on my car (black) that was on the car when I bought it, with the original wheels. The PO was kind enough to include the original wheels with the car. In my opinion with the stock wheels on the car looks even better than when I bought it.
