Are the Continental ContiExtreme Contact's softer/quieter than the ASX's? Does anyone know? I'm runnign the Kumho's now on my car and they are great in rain, so so in snow ..although I did drive through a blizzard w/ zero visibility on 237..the curvy parts at 5 mph just fine. I ran them last winter to tahoe again and they were ok. Lost traction in a few places even though I was going pretty slow. Anyways, I thought it was just my car being stiff/noisy but maybe it's the tires. I need to try the Contact's.

i have had the pzero and those were great as far as traction. when i bought my rims they came with falken 512s and those were not all that great. after those wore down i replaced them with toyo proxes 4s and i loved those. they handled great in the rain and snow. right now i have some summer tires on my car. great in the dry but not much else, so if you want a all season i would say the pzero or the proxes 4.

If you want to give them a whirl in the snow let me know, I turst that you would take good care of them. I see that you guys are making your way up to the snow next weekend. Maybe a good time to try them out. I have had them on my car twice and on my friends old RS once. They are pretty much brand new. He lived in Roseville so we were not far below the snow level and we only put them on when the snow came down super low and we wanted to go play.

I remember you were having some bad luck. I hope things have turned around for you. How's the super wagon.
