Hi Guys,
I have a 2006 530i Sport with RFT Potentza RE050A's ($335 each!) which are getting old and not giving me much traction in the California rain. I am considering replacing them with non-RFTs and am considering the following:
Potenza RE960AS Pole Position ($191 each): http://tinyurl.com/ybdvgjn
Continental ExtremeContact DWS ($135 each): http://tinyurl.com/ydcp5m4
Anyone have any other recommendations or advice for me before I make my purchase?
Thanks.

So, if you decide on the Conti's let us know how you like them.
BTW, If you buy thru the link in my signature you'll earn an additional rebate (5% at TireRack) and other on-line stores.

My Ride: 2013 535i (White with Oyster Interior. Premium Package, Navigation, Technology Pacakge, Park Distance Control, and Rear View Camera)
+1 on General UHPs. Great reviews at TireRack.com, and don't cost that much.
