My only question to the original poster is why, given you live in South Carolina, could you not consider the DW instead?

That is THE best tire I have been able to find based on tests performance wise all around for warm weather and it even gives you one heck of a good wear rating.

I live in TX and just won't drive the 370 if it is cold out. Not everyone has that luxury though and the DWS is a good tire if you have to go all weather.

Just had these put on last Friday and after some weekend driving, I must say they are definitely quieter than the stock Bridgestones. I haven't driven it hard enough to comment on the performance difference.

I dont agree with this at all........I am running Advan Neova AD08's and think they are the best I have seen so far.

cant really compare an r compound with a regular performance tire....

the extreme contacts will prolly last about 3x as long as the ad08's.

but the ad08's will easily out perform the extreme contacts.

The DWS have a 6 year / 50,000 mile tread wear warranty, which is after reading their fine print is not actually applicable to ones used on our cars. Tires covered require that they be rotated every 6,000 to 8,000 miles and a rotation schedule be presented for warranty coverage.

I'm hoping mine last in the 40k range but that's probably wishful thinking lol

i have mine i just havnt put them on yet. the treadwear is 540 i believe so in theory they should last 5 times as long as the oem ones cause their treadwear is 140. we'll see haha

Problem is the tread wear rating across different brands can't really be compared directly. But even twice as long is fine with me lol

Incidentally I drove through some light rain yesterday with a few standing water areas on the highway and the car felt a lot more stable than what I remember the stock bridgestones felt like.

This is actually one of the reasons I just bought a set of ExtremeContact DWSes. (245/45-18 and 275/40-18).

The tires are asymmetrical, but the tread pattern is bidirectional. That mean you can swap left-to-right every 5-6K.

tsolin01 · 04-15-2011, 12:28 AM

Does swapping side to side really do anything though? if your alignment's good I don't see it being any benefit.

Also I just drove through some heavy rain and I didn't feel any instability what so ever. I have about 3k miles on these tires so maybe it's the new tread but felt much better than the stocks in heavy rain.

Advan Neova's ARE NOT R compound. As far as wear.....probably right....but....handling and grip are my main concerns and the Advans are golden there.

From tire rack site:

The ADVAN Neova AD08 is Yokohama's Extreme Performance Summer tire developed for the drivers of sports cars, sports coupes and performance sedans that have a passion for sport driving. The ADVAN Neova AD08 is designed to provide high levels of traction, responsive handling and driving control on dry and wet roads, however it is not intended to be driven in near-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice.
