Quality Tires BUT arrives in sets of two if you order 4.
I had to buy these tires via Amazon as my local big box store was a real hassle to order tires and have them installed. They wanted to ship them to my home ONLY which is nonsense (I wasn't about to carry tires from my home to the store for installation). I ordered these from Amazon and had them shipped to a local tire shop for installation. Perfect in every way except I ordered 4 so they shipped them in two separate orders which took longer for delivery. Overall it was a good experience. The tires were FIRST RATE, exactly as described, and had very good quality rubber and tread depth. You won't be disappointed with the Continental brand. The price was what was expected and only had increased 13 dollars from 5 years ago.

Best summer tire for daily drivers
Great dry handling and the road noise wasn't something I noticed. Grip in the wet was excellent and I feel confident driving whenever it rains. It has a softer side wall compared to 200 wear tires so it will feel more "floaty" if you're more used to the autocross tires. It does have a 30,000 mile warranty so hopefully I can squeeze that out with sensible driving. Simply the best summer tire for a daily driver and canyon carver if you can afford it.

Worth every penny!
The media could not be loaded. I mounted these on my 2011 Volkswagen GTI stage 3 and have about 3,000 miles on them to date. I have been driving on the predecessor Continental extremecontact DW for the last 5 years. When they discontinued that tire and introduced the extreme contact sport naturally I was excited!Pros:1. Excellent grip all around, especially in the corners. They added a 2 inch solid tire contact patch on from the outside of the tire inward.2. Cornering is more responsive than the predecessor.3. Road noise and rolling resistance has been reduced.4. The look from the outside of the car is great the tire has a beefy sticky look to it.5.Thanks Amazon Prime I got these shipped to my house for free!!Cons:1. Because of the increased shoulder tread depth and the sidewall rigidity the ride is a bit stiffer under normal PSI between 32 and 36.

Good 3 Season Tires
Have them on my miata - solid roadfeel and handling. Inspired much more confidence than most tires on the street and were at a very low price for ECS tires. Recommend for those who enjoy spirited driving

Great alternative to the stock Michelin’s
After driving on the stock, Michelin tires for over 10 years I finally decided to try a rear set of these continentals. Very impressed how quiet they are. They feel comfortable and seem to have a great grip of the road.

Great tires for rain and decent for autocross weekenders
These tires are great for the street and good for autocross if you aren’t looking to be highly competitive. They have great feel and are very progressive. I learned a lot about car control with these tires and I’m on my second set. They are also very good in the rain. I drove 2 hours in a rain storm with these in my MR2 and had no moment where I felt traction was lacking. I will continue to use these as my wet weather tires for autocross and as my daily tires. Need something stickier to be competitive in autocross though. I attached a picture of them after 3 events. One of which I was just sliding all over the place on purpose so take that with a grain of salt. I would recommend these tires for sure.
