I had some Potenzas, super grippy (literally could not push them hard enough), but they wore pretty quickly. Can't go wrong with General Exclaims for the price, they're a touch softer in the sidewall but still quite impressive and wear better.

 

Did you at least get a year out of them? I plan to get snow tires for the winter.

 

Yeah but I think that was about it.

 

Delorean had some nice Continentals recently, conti extreme-contacts I think? They were a real nice all around tire, and one of the only tires I've seen on a 9-5 that didnt get all cupped to shit and noisy after a few thousand miles of driving. I think they were pretty cheap too.

My wife will not like it when we need tires in a year. But if they are as sticky as you say.... a year is a long way off. I'll worry about it then. Are they good in the rain? Do you know the model number of the Continentals Paul/Jeff?

 

Back on Nov 1st, I installed a complete set of Bridgestone Potenza RE960's on my 9-5 SportCombi. So far, travelled about 8,000 miles, absolutely no issues with these tires. I do not know the differences between the 760 vs the 960. I think they went on with 11/32nds of tread, would have to measure current depth, if you wanted to know. So far, I am very pleased with this purchase.

Those are the ones, but it doesnt look like they have the right size for the 17" wheels.

Looks like these might be the new version http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Continental&tireModel=ExtremeContact+DWS
