Tires
Hey just wondering if anyone has any opinion on the Conti ExtremeContact DWS tires. Didnt really like the SportContact 3's (only got about 10k miles before having to replace them, so just wondering if these DWS will last longer. With the staggered tires you cont rotate really so how much tire life will that take away?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

I had them on my stock 17's and i liked them alot. the ride quality was supurb. obviously not being able to rotate the rears to the front and vice versa is going to take away some tire life, but it really depends on your driving style. if your driving more aggressively, they will wear faster.

i have them on my 18s. i they are great. i dont drive too aggressively anymore as tires are expensive -_-. but ive had them on my car since February. i think i have 5k mi on them and they still show signs for the S for snow on the tire. lol i imagine this tire will last me a good 15k at least.
since you have staggered, you will probably run out of your rears before your front. and since you cant rotate, you have to buy a new set of tires for the rears.
in terms of handling, i think they are pretty decent. i am sure it is not on par with like potenza's re series tires. but these are good all season tires for sure. i think they are rated high performance all season as well.
