I'll be talking when my car's not riding on 3 and a half wheels - one of my Contis just gave up on me completely this morning (dammed temperature changes!), so I've got the donut on "until further notice". See, if this was in SoCal, I'd have no shitty MTA to rely on

Was this one of the RFTs?

No, the RFTs are actually holding up famously, it is one of the used Contis I bought this summer. It was patched from the start and then re-patched again a couple of weeks ago, so its no surprise. Note to self: never buy a patched used tire again.

So I'm now reading reviews on these HANKOOK VENTUS V4ES and they are looking like a pretty decent performance alternative for the price, but thinking maybe the price difference of 10-20 dollars per tire is worth it for the DWS's...
