Continental ExtremeContact DW 255/40R17 94 W Tire

This is the second set for me, not a bad value, and not excellent. Good handling and road wear, especially in dry conditions. Also very quiet tires. Do not bite well on wet roads and often tires will break pavement and spin when accelerating from a stop on wet roads

I had these tires on my C4 Corvette and when I got a 2000 Boxster with Michelin Sport tires it was so loud my earsrwc rang after an hour driving so I put the Extreme Contact Continentals on and the noise level difference was obvious. I enjoy the Boxster much more now.

I own a 1994 Audi S4, 4 wheel traction is very important for the quattro system to be affective. During the wet seasons of the year these Extreme contact DW tires inspire amazing confidence, especially during "spirited " driving sessions. I have also noticed a very even wear on all 4 tires given there age of 8 months. They are Estheticly attractive too, great tread design for the performance oriented crowd.

Got a set of these for my VW GTI in early 17, did a track day which caused a lot of wear ( not sure I would recommend for the track ) but the tires did well, no squealing or loss of traction. Being new, they struggled with the height of the tread blocks. Have run the balance of 2017 putting on about 20K miles more and they are evenly worn but two are done. Very good summer tire, stick well in aggressive driving situations.

Where I live in Ca there's no snow but periodic rain in winter. The little Z3 is always a little tail happy but had real problems in the rain. These Conti's transformed the severe wet weather performance to almost summer level of tracking. A huge improvement.
