Long story short the current tires were originally on Avant Garde M550 wheels I had a ton of problems with. So I pulled the tires off, and got TSW Bathurst wheels instead - which are fantastic.

Currently Running:

Front: 19 x 8.5 +15
255/35 ContiExtremeDW

Rear: 19 x 10.5 +27
305/30 ContiExtremeDW

I'm looking at either RE-11 or new PS4S in same sizes, or going to 245/40 front and 285/35 rear.

Car is my DD, and is NA (so know the 305 in the rear is probably slowing me down a bit).

Any thoughts & input would be most appreciated.

How do you like the DW? How do they perform on the dry when WOT?

Why are you thinking change to PS4 or re11?

They're good performance tires at a very reasonable price. They're known to be softer in the sidewall than PSS (PS4S) and RE-11 (which are firmer even firmer than the PSS). This makes them a good choice for a daily/street car I think.

As for the reason to change -- they're not making them anymore. Continental replaced them with the ExtremeContact Sport model, and they are a decent amount more expensive than the outgoing ExtremeDW.

The new price bracket puts them so close to the PS4S and RE-11 that I figured I'd rather try one of those tires given their reputations. I'm leaning towards the PS4S since I DD my Z. But I could be swayed to the RE-11 as in Houston I don't really have to think about cold weather performance.

More up in the air on sizing...
