Default DWS Continental Extreme Contact

Pretty reasonable on Tirerack, comes with road hazard guarantee 1 year.

Their freakin awesome, after break in period I've noticed just how much better handling has improved. Only 2 instances of failure.

Once on wet leaves and once in walmart parking lot during rain, someone spilled 5 quarts of oil in front of a speed bump. I'm like whats wrong with my car....had to back up couldn't get over.

They don't make tires to perform on wet leaves, or oil. SO They're the best you can get.

I've seen these and have recommended them to others (with out having tried them myself) simply because it seems EVERYONE loves them and they are priced quite nicely.

They are definatly going to be the next tire i get when Charlotte needs a new set.

Glad another likes them...

Put a set on the 06 V70 2.5t a year and 20K ago. I really like these tires. Mine are 235/45/17 and work well in dry, wet and snow here in SE Michigan.
Not noisy, either. Good treadwear, at at "Z" speed rating, they'll go faster than I ever will. They replaced the OEM Pirellis which were pretty worn at 30K miles.

I also own a VW CC which has a known history of consuming tires due to cupping withing 20K miles. On the VW boards the OEM Conti's generally got slammed as the worst tire ever, but the Conti Extreme Contact got very high marks as a recommended replacement.
