One thing I don't understand.... why go with all of these brand tires? I hear many people say 10K miles and the tire is shot?

My original Contis lasted 37K miles. Got the new contis and put another 20K+ miles on them and they aren't even halfway worn (came with a 60K mile warranty). The new set cost me 800 for all 4 tires. My car will do 140 MPH and it feels like you are gliding through the air.

So why mess with all these other brands? Why not just pay less and get more mileage out of continentals? Save the money you would have spent on these Japanese/American/Honk Kong (wherever they make them) and buy a whole new set of Contis when they are worn out in 40K miles. Contis are really good tires.
