Got them on the Wagon... BMW dealer put them on as Replacement to mix match of RFTs when I bought the car.
Quiet, good wet traction, Seem to be waring ok in the limited millage I've put on it since getting it, really only one complaint.
Only complaint is that I wish the side wall were stiffer, but I'm on 17"s right now compared to my previous 18" LP RFTs....

I'm trying to decide on the All Season Conti's EXtreme Contact vs Michellin Pilot Sport All season "PLUS". The conti's are approx $350 cheaper than the Pilot Sports
for 19' wheels. I have the original pilot Sport on my 18" wheels and I like them alot - the Conti's are a good value but I'm concerned that the sidewalls may not be firm enough - especially on larger size rims.
i'd like any feedback or input.

Supposed to have incredible wet/snow traction and almost the grip of a summer UHP tire. I'd get them, if my RFTs were bald right now for my wet/cold set. If you want summer UHP tires though, you really should get summer UHP tires - that makes sense, right?

I just put them on my 19" VMRs. I haven't tested them to their full ability yet, but I like them from what I have experienced. They are quiet, smooth, and seem to handle well (hit 110 on a back road the other night, and they stuck me to the ground).
My brother has them on his X5, and loves them as well.
Plus, you can't beat a 50k mile tread life warranty.
