anyone NOT like the stock tires?
i personally don't like them. very boring tread design. i have the 17'' black painted wheels. these Conti tires seem like cheap touring tires. not really made for handling. i was looking at getting this combo.

I'm not sure why you would want to buy a tire based on the tread design. If I did need to replace the stock tires, I would go with the Conti ExtremeContact DW. |

The all weather 17" Conti's hydroplane very easily.

I HATED the Conti's that came with my Focus. (16inch LRR). They had no grip, were very bumpy, were quite loud, and hydroplaned like you wouldn't believe. At 2500 miles I swapped them out for a set of Michelin Primacy MXv4's and have never been happier.
 They are all seasons, but they are considered "performance all seasons" by most places I've looked online. They are very quiet, comfortable, and grip like you wouldn't believe. They handle themselves well in light snow too, and rain doesn't bother me anymore. |

I hate the contis, everyone I work with that has had them hates them.
There ok tires and are better than bargin bin/second hand tires. Look at tore racks survey results, the contis are horribly rated. |
