Continental ExtremeContact DWS (Ultra High Performance All-Season) available in 20"

Anyone tried it? Compare to Proxy ST II? Does anyone know who has the best price online for size 20"?

I am interested in the 18" version of these tires. Any reviews or comments? I came across these yesterday:

I too am very interested in these tyres. My yokohoma advans are balding and need replacing asap. I note the tread wear is quite high at 540, does this mean a noisy tyre?

I am having the Extreme Contact DWS"s installed next week. I have been having issues with the Proxes ST ll"s since I purchased them last spring. My BMW dealership has done everything, changed rotors, brake pads, bushings, rebalanced all wheels and I still get vibration and steering wheel shake. I only have approx. 2000K on these tires so I took them back to the place I purchased and also got Toyo involved and they are refunding 100% and will be changing out to the Extreme Contact DWS tires, as soon as the rear tires arrive at the tire warehouse. Dealership said the the road force on the Proxes are failing, so they told tire store that all 4 needed to be changed out.

i am running them on my style 87s, stock 315 and 275 size. they are great, very little road noise. great in the rain so far, drove back from PA during some pretty bad storms and i had no issues driving about 65-75. havent driven in snow yet but if their tread rating are what they say they are and if they are decent in snow, these will be great tires. they replaced worn Damaris(sp?) and are better, however, i dunno how they would compare to new Damaris (i recently got the X so i dunno what to compare them to).

and the fact that i got my brand new set for $600 off craigslist makes it worthwhile

I've read some reviews which mentioned that they had quite soft sidewalls, making cornering not as good as other tires. Also some issues with poor pothole handling and side bubbles.. Anyone to comment on that?
