+1 - I've had PSS tires on mine since I purchased it last April and they are sticky icky icky in cold, wet and hot. I push mine pretty hard and drive in DS most of the time. Maybe its the Active Steering & Roll Stabilization helping them out but I have been nothing but impressed with the Super Sport tires.

on the other hand, last summer i had Michelin Pilot Sport PS2s and i loved them....if you plan to downgrade to the Conti's look for a huge drop off in performance with the ONLY positive being a cheaper (and i mean that in multiple ways) tire...
I figured as much, but for the cost if I don't like them I'll drive like a freak for a while and wear them out. Typically, I drive very conservatively. Out on the interstate well above the speed limit, not into quick take offs and cornering. Hopefully, they will be ok. When i replace them, I am sure it will be with michelins~
