Default continental tires

Hello everyone,

Has anyone tried the Continental Extreme Contact DW tires? And if so, what did you think of them?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

I'm curious about this too. I'm looking at tires also and saw they now have these in our size. I thought they looked good and had a good wear rating for a summer tire, but I would sure have expected more than 11,000 miles out of a set.
