Any opinions or advice with these tires? I want 225/45/17 but tirerack wont sell them to me because of the load spec. I can order them from somewhere else though.... so are these tires loud, ugly, good in snow? I need a decent tire that will perform in the NE winter (high performance all season). The other tire I was looking at is the Pirelli P-Zero Nero M&S... however I dont think that will do too well in the snow. Help guys, I'm frustrated!

 

I have the Conti's in the stock size and I like them. Much improved grip in wet conditions over the stock tires. Dry traction isn't improved drastically. They are a little louder than stock too. Also they ride rough in the morning if it is cold out. You gotta wait for the tires to heat up and then it is smooth after 5 mins or so.

 

Living in Florida I can't speak to the snow traction, but in every other way I like them better than stock as well as the Falken's I used to have. I've got 7500 miles on them and they are wearing great! A great buy IMHO!

 

i don't care for the tread pattern, you could just use the buy now option with credit card
