Continental ExtremeContact Sport02
It is time for a tire upgrade. After 2 years on the prior owner's Ventus Evo2, the rears are to the wear bars. I debated just replacing the rears since the fronts are 7/32, but I think I'm ready for a new experience.
I went back and forth between the MPS4S and these tires. Read as many reviews as I could (based on the first gen CES), with the overall consensus being that they are not better than the Michelins but are a solid contender and place second in nearly every category. Overall, seems like less sportiness and comparable comfort.
Priced them out, and including my CC giving me 7% CB and $70 manufacturer rebate, I can get them for 25% less than PS4S. I've decided to take the plunge. They should be in next week.

From their website..
“The Premium Touch sidewall design creates a sleek, matte-black aesthetic with a velvety micro texture.”
Who touches their sidewalls ??
To the OP I have run both on various cars my biggest observation is that the Conti’s seem to get noisy as you load them up through a corner more than the PS4 but it’s a great tire all round..

Thread drift!
Politics aside, how well does your car run on diesel?
Further afield could be $6/gal is a deal.

Continentals with 18" wheels
I've had the Continentals for about four years and about 14000 miles (2005 - 997.1) and they've been great. Mounted on 18" wheels they replaced the 19" wheels with Michelins (that still have). Handling and comfort are better for this 148# driver.

This tire is the only 300+TW tire that’s in 295/35-18, so I am interested to see feedback.
