I just could not resist the deal, I know they are not as great as the Michelin Super Sports but for the money I paid I figured I could not go wrong plus they are the exact right size for the car. I was not crazy about the idea of putting 295's on the rear. If there was ever a issue with the rear end knowing my luck the dealer would claim the wrong size tires voided the warranty with how things go for me. So hopefully I'll get them installed the end of this week and let ya all know how they feel. I think I've got issues with the stock Conti's that are on the car now, feels like maybe a couple of belts are separated as the car drives funny, plus they vibrate at speeds over 70, just had them balanced around 5K miles ago but out again, now the right rear is loosing 5 lbs of air a week and that was the last straw, be better off with new tires. 920 bucks for four new tires for this car is a great deal, I had RE 50's on a previous car and these pole positions are suppose to better than them, the RE's were not bad tires, got a little noisy as they wore, but other than that no issues.

I loved my old S-02's I had, trust Bridgestone. Just put set of Bridgestone M+S on Rangie, love them.
Conti's only good for keeping your rims off ground, and not very good at that. Good riddance.
Interested to see how they do for you.
