Continental ExtremeContact DWS All-Season Tire - 225/50R17 94W

• All-season passenger tire for coupes and sedans
• Enhanced performance in dry conditions
• Improved water evacuation for outstanding wet handling
• Increased traction in light snow conditions
• Easy-to-read tread wear level indicators

I decided to take a chance on the reviews on tirepros.com and bought these tires through Amazon because they offered free (!) shipping. I was reticent to buy them because a) I usually buy OEM tires for my cars and b) I never have tried Continentals on a car. I had my local mechanic install these tires. He also had no experience with Continentals. Maybe this is the reason that I had to bring the car back a second time for adjusting the alignment?

There is no comparison between these tires and the Michellins, that I previously had on my 2009 Honda Accord, in terms of road noise. The Michellins reflected all road noise from grooved/rough pavement into the cabin. These tires are silent just like the customer/professional reviews compiled on tirepros.com (if you can't tell tirepros.com is a really good website for reviewing car parts). On top of all of that they were cheaper than the Michellins. The Michellins lasted 75K while these have a 40K warranty which I understand is unique for these type of tires (ultra high performance).

Bought this tire after EXTENSIVE research on TireRack.com and the Internet from the local Discount Tire store as OEM replacements on our 2008 Honda Accord. These are the VERY BEST high performance all season tires I've ever had on ANY vehicle I've ever owned. I just wish Continental made these in a 60 series tire to put on our other car, a 2005 Outback. I can't say enough about how well these grip in the wet and dry, not to mention light snow. Admittedly, these aren't pure winter tires, but they've done whatever I've called on them to do so far. I'd put their dry performance up against Michelin Pilot Sports any time (and I've owned two other different vehicles which I have paid much more to put those Michelins on).

These are, without a doubt, the BEST ALL SEASON HIGH PERFORMANCE tires I have ever experienced in my life (60+ years) and I've been an early adopter of high performance/radial tires since back in the 1960s!
