Thanks for all the responses. I have not been upset with the ride of the Dunlops, just the tread life. Like I said, I will try the Conti's (50% of the cost, even at Tire Rack). I am going to let the dealer install them as they are the same price as the local tire shops and I have had a bad experience with some wheel damage on my 4.8is at a local tire shop. Plus, if the wheel is damaged at the dealer, they will repair it

Hope it doesn't change the ride too much. THe tire has gotten good reviews from some members here.
