About 16k miles on my Conti all seasons. Still looking pretty good out back.

Nathan—did you consider Contiprocontact or Extreme Contact DWS06? Do you like the Control tires?

No complaints. I thought they were getting noisy, but that turned out to be wheel bearings. Dry grip is pretty decent, but I can chirp them pretty easily under hard cornering and braking. I did just do brakes though. For the price, quite satisfied. I'm running 225s all around, so I'm sure that contributes to the tossability. PO had 225s and I assumed all were 7.5" rims, but they turned out to be staggered. Oh well.
I just saw them at Discount and thought I'd give them a shot.
I still have my snow socks new in the box.
I picked up a set of (4) 7.5" DS2s, and may run dedicated snows this winter. My halftime job is up in the mountains so didn't worry about the odd storm prior. I might now.

Blizzaks are hard to beat on ice and snow. Some use them for ice racing on our frozen lakes. We ran a set on my wife’s car through five Wisconsin winters. Great choice.
You can’t have everything. Where would you put it?
When I bought my M Coupe, it had Michelin Pilot Sports on the car (the original Pilot Sport, not PS2, PS3, PSS, etc.). The date code was '06, I believe, so not the original tires, but possibly the second set of tires and bought at the dealer. Pilot Sports were the OE tire for the M Coupe/Roadster as well as the E39 M5. The changeover was '99 or '00, because prior cars had MXX3 (IIRC).
I run Sumitomo HTR Z III and have been very happy with them. They are great sticky tires.
