Tires Continental or Kormoran

I drive on Continental Extreme Contact DWS year round in a JSW. Great in rain, good in snow, and I off-road the car some and they handle that as well

For what it's worth I have a 2009 VR6 sport with over 70K miles and so far it has been pretty much bullet proof. I do most of my own maintenance so everything has been done properly and on time. The tires were replaced at 60k miles and there was still 4/32" tread left on the OEM 235/45/18 Conti's.

I've been very impressed with the EV's performance in the snow. I'm running 15" Continental ContiWinter Contact snow tires, and use them year-round since I don't put many miles on during the summer months.

Knowing this, and having been uninspired by Michilen X-Ices I tried out Continentals Extreme Winter contacts last year. They have about 80-90% of the traction of the Bridgestones, but their compond wears longer, doesn't feel as squirmy as the softer Bridgestones. They even feel pretty good when its dry out.

Got a set of Continental Extreme Contact DW tires a few months ago.. great tires and highest ranked on Tire Rack.

I replaced my tires with some Continental ExtremeContact DW's in that size today and I'm very happy with them.

For winter I'm running Conti DWS on 17's and they've performed well. In snow my only limitation has been ground clearance.

i ordered some of the continental DWS's...all the reviews have them tops for all season and 50k warranty!

Now it's got Conti Extreme Contacts. They are directional, so they can only be rotated front to back which I admittedly didn't do as much as I should.

I went with the Continental ExtremeContact DWS for my 2008 EOS LUX, replacing the OEM Goodyear Eagles. While no snow (yet), I'm very happy with them. The car handling is significantly better and, very importantly, the squeal when accelerating is gone.
