Continental Conti Extreme

I bought these from Tire rack last week. I choose them because they were cheap and have a long treadware rating. I have been driving on them a few days and they seem O.K.. I Live in Northern CA so no snow or ice issues. They are definitely softer than the stock tires. The ride is much softer. I drive mostly around town so this is an improvement to me. At freeway speeds they seemed quite. I got 21,000 miles out of the stock tires. Anyone have history with these?

Hi, I had them on my Lexus GS400. The tires are pretty good. Excellent price and good treadwear. Most importantly, the reason I went with these were b/c they were the best all season tire in that price range. I like em, aside from the road noise, I had no problems at all. Good luck.

I got these on my 8 about 2 months ago. So far I like them. I'll have to see how they do in the winter. These have to be better than stock.

If they are the same type I bought for the wife's Taurus, rotate the hell outta these tires. They were very impressive for handling but became square quickly.
Haven't put any on the 8 yet.

I had a set on my Spec-V. I thought they were terrible. They didn't last long at all and were really noisy.
