I just got the Continental Extreme Contact DWS .. If you are interested in these tires here are my first impressions..

I drove the car on dry pavement on both highways and secondary roads....I dont notice a great deal of noise reduction..but keep in mind the car has sound dampening in both the hatch and the doors. I noticed a lot of noise on wet pavement with the old tires so that test with the new ones remains to be done.

I do notice the ride is a bit softer and the control is a bit looser than the original stocks. So my first impression is that if you want to make the car a bit more comfortable these tires would be good for you. I do think that if you are into extreme, hard driving on dry pavement and want the most in control, you should stay away from these tires.

I have a feeling these are going to be better on wet pavement than the old stock ones and certainly better in snow. ( i never drive in snow ..to many rocks and sand and salt)

Hope this helps..
