Continental ExtremeContact tires?
 
Thinking of getting Continentals and Tire Rack seems to have a good review of them but I wanted to get some feedback before committing to them.

I had no choice but to take em when they came on my turbo. First let me say that normally I cant stand continental tires and I asked them to switch them up or I wouldnt buy the car, that didnt work so I was stuck with them. Saying that, I am really happy with them in dry weather, they grip well, the are wearing well, road noise is less than the PS2's I had on previous 911's. However, this is my daily driver and I cannot stand them in the rain at all. Horrible in any sort of wet weather.

My next set is going to be either the PS2's or possibly the Nitto NT-01 (recommended by a track friend)

Hope this helps

I have them on our ML63 and love those tires. They are quiet, grippy, last over 25,000 miles, excellent in the rain and actually manageable in the snow as well. I will buy them again and again.
