I had the OEM Conti's on my 2006 Coupe and unless I was on dry pavement, I always felt uneasy about just how well my car was sticking to the road. At 26K miles, the rears were down to the wear bars. Last Friday my ExtremeContact DWS tires arrived from TireRack. The difference in road noise and ride comfort are like night and day. After my experience with the OEM tires, I swore that I would never consider Continentals, but based on posts here on the CrossfireForum, I pulled the trigger on the ExtremeContacts and I am glad that I did. Time will tell as to how they perform on wet pavement, but I am confident that I made the right choice for my driving style.
