Tires Hankook or Continental

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.

These have worked out very well for me. Lasted much longer than the jumbo ecsta asx(?) I ran before.

I put on a set of Continental ExtremeContact DWS in size 235/40/18 about two weeks ago. I've seen plenty of rain and so far have been really impressed with their performance in those conditions.

I replaced mine with Hankook Ventus HRII's, which have performed quite well for the price (I got 18"s for about 110 each). Definitely more grip off the line than the OEM Michelin's and P6's (I've driven both).

A large part of the noise is indeed the tires. They are the OEM contintental touring 235/45-17 and they were inflated to 38lbs. I dropped them to the recommended 35 and the noise and ride improved. I am now realizing that 50% of the sound I'm hearing that is objectionable is indeed these tires.

I had the Continental CrossContact LX installed today. So far fantastic, but, I would expect that any brand new tire would feel great. I am excited not to hear the wamp wamp wamp anymore from the old Pirelli Scorpion STRs.

True dat. Contis ( ) + US spec ride height = GTI loses the armchair racer wars.

There's a vendor on the west coast that sells a couple of Continental tires, but I can't find the link. I didn't get them because, one, they were about $140 each, and two, according to owner reports on the Tire Rack, they're not that good a tire.
