That would be nice, since my original Conti's are about finished - with 28,700 on them.
My local shop gave me prices today:
four of the Original Conti Touring Contacts that came with the car: $1061.00
Four of the Extreme Concact DWS's: $847.12
These are CHEAPER than the tires the car came with? I'd never have guessed that, based on the opening post in this thread!
