I put these tires on my SRT-6 a week a go to replace the OEM Conti all season tires. At 17,500 miles the rear Conti's were almost at the wear bars and the fronts had plenty of wear left. I wanted a pure summer performance tire as the SRT-6 will never see cold temps let alone snow/ice. I narrowed my choices down to the Continental Extreme Contact DW and the Dunlop SP Sport Maxx TT.

The Dunlops were right at the top in dry performance but where they blew away the competition in Tire Rack testing was wet performance. They weren't just a little better, the gap was pretty substantial.

So, after a few hundred miles.....

• Good grip but I can still break traction from a stop if not quite as easily.
• Responsiveness to steering input is nice and sharp.
• Ride quality is pretty good, not harsh. But that was supposed to be the Conti's strong suit. So maybe not as comfortable as the Conti's.
• Noise levels are...well...apparent. This isn't a super quiet tire but not obnoxious loud either. If you value noise levels over ultimate handling, this may not be the tire for you.
• Wear? The Dunlop's have a UTQG of 240 whereas the Conti's carry a UTQG of 340. But it's almost impossible to compare any two tires as the UTQG is a relative rating within a given manufacturers product line rather than an absolute measure of wear.
• Cost? The four OEM size Dunlop's cost me $950 with mounting, balancing, alignment, and tax.

I'd recommend them as a candidate if you're looking for a max performance summer tire and wet performance is important to you in a car that can break the rear end loose like the SRT-6.
