Agreed.
I have also had very good experiences with the Contis on various cars. Good balance of cost, traction, ride, handling and road noise.
I have not yet gotten them worn down, but I remember a set of ProContacts I had on my Jag still kept good traction as they aged, but got obnoxiously loud and jittery at highway speed, although the tread was wearing evenly (but admittedly quite low).
Back to the Extreme contact DWS06s, these days I prefer to buy tires from a local chain. Lifetime rotation and balance + flat repair makes it attractive. It's the manufacturer that carries the tread/mileage warranty IIRC.
Last time I bought 255/35/20 tires, and I paid around $911 out the door. That was after I negotiated around 200 bucks off their initial quote... then I registered my tires online with Continental and applied for their $70 rebate.
I'll definitely considering buying the DWS06 when the Michelin Pilots on the M56 wear down.
