Ever used the Continental ContiExtremeContact on a CLS?

I'm still debating which tires to use on my 2001 CLS:

The ContiExtremeContact

Sumitomo HTR+

Yokohama Avid V4


I live in the Northeast, so I am looking for a tire that can handle some snow and won't need replacing every 15K.

Thanks for any advise and help.

Yes! I've had these tires for the last 5k miles. Best tires I've ever had bar none! On my CLS other than OEM I've had Falken Ziex whatever/whatever. They sucked about as bad as OEM. The Conti's look like they are wearing well too!

Got 'em on my 330xi, hard to tell how great the tires are in the snow since I've got AWD but it goes very well.
