Default Continental Extreme Contact DW

Just purchased a set of Continental Extreme Contact DW (set of rears) from TR & absolutely love them plus they are cheap. They grip well and aren't noisy. I only put about 20 miles on them and will keep you updated on tread wear etc. So far so good with these tires. I previously had BF Goodrich Super Sport A/S good tire but had about 20% tread left and both rears had nails within a week of each. So I plugged it up but didn't feel safe driving.
The BF's were good tires but were noisy.

I was impressed with the tires in our recent test.

I'd love to hear what you think about the tires as time goes on. I work for Continental and just so happen to be an s2000 owner and enthusiast. You can PM me if you want.

I just got them on my car and have 20 miles on them as well- went 225/45 front and 255/40 rear. Very smooth and quiet, but have not pushed them yet and won't until the tires are broken in. I'll report back after the weekend since they'll have a couple hundred miles on them.

i have the DWS all seasons, and they have a ton of tread on them compared to my hankook v12. Anyway they do great in the rain, dry, hot, cool. They are somewhat cheap too.

are we talking about DW or DWS.

DWS really seems like a snow tire instead of all season. You sure they are all season and can be driven in summer as well?
