Conti Extreme Contact

I have 225/45/17 on all fours and will be switching tires. How well does the Conti Extreme Contact perform and is it a quiet ride?

Do you mean that people have problems with these Conti Extreme Contact tires or do you mean that people have problem with size 225/45/17?

I'm confused as well. Is it a bad move to get the Conti's or is it a bad move to get 225/45/17 on all fours?
