Opinions, pls

Tire Rack web site does not list the Extremes when searching by C5 and clicking the "show matching front and rear" tires. I knew that Continental made both the front sizes and the rear sizes that matched the stock C5 tires, so called Tire Rack to see what's up. The technician I talked to said that for some reason Continental does not make the two different tire sizes (front and rear) in the same speed rating. I did ask him if it would make much difference if I mixed speed ratings.... he strongly advised against it. Maybe their insurance requirements restrict them from advising otherwise... anyway I decided to take his advice.

My 99 has aftermarket Fikse 18" wheels so the OE wheel size mismatch issue doesn't effect me.

Has anyone tried these tires?

I have them (205/50/16 - W speed-rated)) on my Mazda MX6 GT and I feel that they are excellent tires. They are the Summer, not the all-season versions.

I had them on my 99. 245/45-17 front, 275/40-18 rear. I thought they were EXCELLENT tires! Super quiet, plenty of cornering traction, and great treadwear. Wonderful in the rain too. No negatives with this tire IMO.

Thanks, tony.
This is the kind of feedback I was looking for.

Have them on my 04 C5 since July. Go to Flagstaff several times a year and these are great rain tires. Very quite and great ride quality.Liked them so much got a set for my Ducati.☺

I bought a set this year for the upcoming winter months. So far they are quite on the highway, as my car is a daily driver this is important. They have been great in the rain at highway speeds (and then some). No problems with traction so far. I really hope the do well in the snow too, I can't imagine they'll be too bad.

Oh, I had to mix and match to get a set, as they don't offer the factory sizes for 17x9.5/18x10.5 rims.
