I like the warranty on the Nittos, but I like the look of the Conti's. I want to keep the performance look, but enhance ride and sound. Thank you for the pictures ex-ss-ve!

This is my second set. Got 46k miles of very hard driving out of last set. The fronts were replaced due to a unrepairable shoulder puncture ( against discount tires policy to repair that) however i love them.

Not sure if you bought your tires yet, but here's a damn good article.

Conti ExtremeContact DWS is the best all season tire available in my opinion. (and many other tire blog opinions)

I actually bought a set of slightly used Conti's for the rears. As soon as the General rear tires wear out, I'll put the used Conti's back on.

Thanks for the PM, I had ordered the Nittos, but ill be changing my order to the Continentals. They may not be as sporty as the P-Zero's, but thats expected because they are all seasons...

Wheels spin at just about any throttle action wet or dry. when its cold its even worse. The tires float in the rain even at 55 mph when everyone else is running 65+. I had talked several people in my club into these and i regret it now they report same issues. Will be getting different tires soon.

Interesting. Guess I'll scratch the Motivos off the list. I might be looking at Firehawks or Cooper Zeon RS3-S's.

Wow! And they're supposed to be "all seasons" with like a 9/10 wet performance rating. Glad I changed my order!!

The Continental DWS are one of our highest rated all season tires on Tire Rack. They are a best seller for us and Tire Rack survey highly recommended.

Well its been almost a month that I've been fighting about these tires. I said I would post pics when I got them installed, and I will.....Just gotta get them...SO I didnt forget.

Jrichards73 · 02-12-2014, 05:57 PM

Happy with the conti's

2011*Camaro*SS · 02-12-2014, 10:01 PM

Looks good!

orange blaze · 02-12-2014, 10:09 PM

I have researched these and they are a very good tire. I am about to place an order at Discounttiredirect. I am going with the 275/40x20 front and 315/35x20 rear.

2011*Camaro*SS · 02-14-2014, 10:54 AM
