Had Continental DWS Extreme Contacts put on today (275/45-19) - the difference in ride quality is amazing. What used to be annoying can no longer be felt, the stuff I used to slow down for can, but it's still below the annoyance level. Grip seems as good as the 75% worn Michelin Latitudes that were my former summer tires, and better then the almost new Pirelli Scorpions that were my ice/snow tires.

If the mileage gets anywhere near what is claimed they are sure fire winners... (540 treadwear number.. and a 50,000 mile mileage warranty - prorated I'm sure, but even so..)

Good stuff - glad a few people here recommended them.. was also one of the less expensive tires in that size.

 

Glad you like 'em. I'm about to install my second set...

 

Oh yes, the mileage is near what is claimed. I have 275/40/20 and 315/35/20 on the 4.8is and it's not getting thinner as fast as the OEM Michelins. The rears are slightly thinner than my fronts at 7/10 vs the fronts at 8/10 since 03/2011, about 13k miles later.

I can't wait to slap these on to the CTT!

As a side note: I also switched to Continental GP4000s on my road bike and I could immediately tell the difference in ride smoothness, quietness, and conformity on corners.

I liked Continental before but... if they start producing these quality tires without the need for fancy marketing, I'm a believer.

 

I also have the DWS on my S as well as the Conti 4000s on all my road bikes! All of them ride excellent and wear well. Good Choice.

 

Yep...good choice.
