I changed out of the worn out Conti's in August. So far tires have performed as expected, NO problems driving on wet roads, no even a hint of lost traction on VERY wet roads. Noise - don't hear them. Had other Goodyear's on my Audi - and they screamed - but these I don't hear at all.
Here in central VA - we get snow and ice - I am not going to even attempt to drive on these when that happens. For the price of a new set of rims and tires - I could probably rent a car for the few times it's an issue.
Or take my wides A6.
