Moving on to Vredestein from Conti cross contact UHP. The Contis were just fine.

Contis were just fine. Front ones wore out quicker than the rear. Perhaps overinflated. I stored them during winter (x 2). Could probably get 16K but am replacing in 12K due to lateral tread groove wear in the front. I thought the the sound level was very good. Tire noise was actually better than Michelins even as tread wears out. This was my second set of Contis Cross Contact UHP (for a prior Q7 then for the Cayenne). Performance is acceptable although I did not really take the Cayenne to the track (we are close to VIR). I decided to try the Vredestein because of positive reviews and the price which is $318 per tire (295/35/21Y) at performanceplustire.com. They are due to arrive late next week.

I currently have the Contis, but may try the Vredesteins now. Contis were good, but like all of these UHP tires, they only get about 15K.

I am surprise nobody mention about the Continental Extreme Contact DWS. I heard alot of good review about these tires. I wanted to get these tires for my Range Rover Sport 2 years agos, but was out of stocks. Nationwide back order.

Vredesteins mounted. CTT is lighter, quieter and nimbler. Perhaps that is due to brand new tires. I 'll know more as miles build up.
