They're good performance tires at a very reasonable price. They're known to be softer in the sidewall than PSS (PS4S) and RE-11 (which are firmer even firmer than the PSS). This makes them a good choice for a daily/street car I think.

As for the reason to change -- they're not making them anymore. Continental replaced them with the ExtremeContact Sport model, and they are a decent amount more expensive than the outgoing ExtremeDW.

The new price bracket puts them so close to the PS4S and RE-11 that I figured I'd rather try one of those tires given their reputations. I'm leaning towards the PS4S since I DD my Z. But I could be swayed to the RE-11 as in Houston I don't really have to think about cold weather performance.

More up in the air on sizing...
