Another downvote for the Continentals. Became unbearably loud to the point I thought there was something wrong with the axles/wheel bearings, and wore way quicker than the Michelins PS4S. While it may be cheaper than the Michelins, not worth the tradeoff IMO.

My 2006 C2 cab came with Continental ExtremeContact Sports and they are certainly good tires, but when they do wear out I'll be putting on Michelin's.

Just put Contis on my wife’s Boxster S. Fantastic tire. Quite, predictable and great road feel and handling for most driving other than pressing through canyon runs hot and tracking. Surprisingly good in horrific monsoon rain and hail. A huge atmospheric river caught up to us the other evening while coming back from dinner, tires did amazing, still trying to get the seat cleaned , grin, Paul
