Alright fellas. Got to put my personal review on the table. Just wrapped my OEM's(172) in hankooks(v12) from Conti SC2. Big difference!! I was swinging from all the positive reviews from other members because hey, its THE FORUM! @ any rate, I'm in them 150 miles now & i know what to expect. My curves don't feel the same. No major issues, just not what i expected. The Continentals sport contact 2's were discontinued so they say, replaced w/the DWS. I know this sounds corney but the tread and side walls didnt look as aggressive as the SC2, so i decided against them and to save some bucks went Hankooks way. Mistake! They feel good but almost too roady, not driving a vet ya know, but they still keep me movin.......... EXPERIENCE IS the BEST teacher

Not really true I'm afraid, there is the sport contact 5

DWS are all weather and not in the same category at all.
