Loving my new Conti's

TXSpeedDemon

Glad you like them.

I've been much happier with my Continental DWSs than I was with my Pilot Super Sports. I wouldn't say they handle better (very close on normal spirited driving: 80-85% of the car's limit) but they are so much more comfortable, quiet and no flat-spotting any more. Flat spotting was a major problem with my PSS, occurring about 70% of the time I drove the car and since my commute to work is only 6 miles the PSSs never evened out in that short a drive.

I've had the DWSs on about a month now and don't regret the decision at all.

Thank you for the support! I guess we're in the minority. I think I gave some people the wrong idea that I think the Conti is better than the PSS as a track tire or at least for a very aggrssive style of driving. I'm not talking about the Conti's as a track tire. I'll say it again...my Conti's are out performing the PSS in everyday driving situations and that includes cornering, overall handling, quietness, and smoothness. That's everyday driving conditions! Say what you want and believe what you want but you can have your PSS. My only regret is believing the "positive" reviews I read from people in this forum of how great the PSS are and then buying them only to have to go ahead and buy new tires in less than 10 months and 20k miles and worse yet, not even likng them. By the way, I started a Thread a few months ago asking for advice regarding why I felt I had so much understeer taking corners and that was when I had the PSS. I really felt I had to muscle my way around a turn. I no longer feel an understeer since I had my Conti's. Bottom line is if the PSS works for you and your style of driving, good for you. For me, I'll gladly take my Conti's any day! I hope that this helps others in deciding what kind of tires to get for their Z and that there are options out there. Also in regards to tires, what works for some Z drivers may not work for others.
