Ha ha. Sounds like me. 
The twisties on our meets and my socially responsible driving habits killed me rear OEM summer Contis in 12K miles. I am dying to see how long my rear Hankook Ventus V12 Evos last. But I will be swapping them out in the next week or two for my winter shoes -- Dunlop WinterSport M3s on OEM 123 wheels.

They don't sell them in the tire sizes I need. Hopefully the Contis will be okay.

I assume that you also had no luck with the D3s.
Yep, no luck with those as well. I hope the ContiExtremeContact DWS work well. I had Conti's previous model, the ContiExtremeContact on a different car a few years ago (an Audi S6) and I loved them. So, I am hoping that this new DWS model is even better.

Thanks ALL for your advice and assistance. I ended up purchasing the Continental ExtremeContact DWS (2 x 245/40R18 and 2 x 275/35R18) today from Tire Rack.
