New Tires for 4.8is- Has anyone tried the Continental Extreme Contact DWS's?

[E55AMG2]

Bumping this thread to see what the fellas on the DWS's think now that some mileage has accrued. I had Diamaris, but a defective set led me to purchasing Yoko Advan S/Ts (which arent bad, ride is harsher and a bit noisy when compared to the Diamaris). I've also tried the proxes, but they ride even worse than the yokos do.

Got the DWS last month and i'm pretty happy with it, its quiet, responsive and great wet weather tire. Will find out how it fares for southern VA weather slick roads.
I have one problem though; not to hijack this thread, steering wheel feels heavy on right. Its not drifting nor pulling but just heavy on right, have to hold wheel slightly to left. X tracks straight on most road even when wheel is let go. Of course most roads are inclined to the shoulder and over period of time/distance or how much incline is on road, X will start to drift to right side.
Alignment was done at dealership and was noted all green but heavy on right before alignment. No suspension suspected defects and one alignment shop said switch the front tires/wheel left->right, said its strong possibility to be the problem.

Has anyone experienced/done this ? I'm only running 18".
Thx.

For some reason my "quick reply" button isn't working.

To E55AMG- you said you had the Toyos but weren't happy with the ride, road noise? My Yoko's on my 4.6 have about 18k miles on them and the truck sounds like a lifted bogger on 32's. I was about to pull the trigger on a set of Proxes ST2's. Were your's the earlier version or the ST2's? Thanks for any feedback!
