Thanks for the info sparkyblue but i'm looking for ultra high performance all season tires and it looks like the Continental ExtremeContact DWS takes the win even if the test results show that the Bridgestone Potenza RE970AS Pole Position were and all around better all season tire, they are more expensive and the UTQG is lower than the continental's which was one of the things that were important to me (tread-ware). The continental's are also cheaper than the Goodyear F1 asymmetric tires and give a more comfortable ride than the F1's and at the same time not loosing handling.
