225/50R16 Continental Extremecontact (says DWS tuned, so '06?). I'm very happy but still consider switching to drag radials on occasion as I'll probably always desire more traction.

The DWS is a great tire, but an all season

The ExtremeContact Sport 02's I was asking about are a summer tire & the "new" version of them

The 4S's are considered better. But probably not $800 better. Though the Contis have had issues with tread seperation in the past.

I've had a lot of Contis, but have never heard of a "tread separation" issue though.

Ironically, the PS4's are listed on the Michelin site BUT they're not listed on TireRack or DiscountTire though anyways (in 205/50/17)

But for $200 less (total), 4lbs less (each tire) and pretty much similar performance....I think I'm gonna go with the (new) Conti ExtremeContact Sports

Also the Contis have a 30k mileage warranty versus "only" 20k on the PS4's

You really want to save weight at the wheels, get better ones. The stock rims are heavy.

You can ditch as much as 40 lbs of unsprung weight with the right wheel and tire combo.

VERY true, but I was trying to keep it stock-ish/stock looking though

Well, since my buddy works for Continental and gets a discount on them....I ordered up the ExtremeContact Sports.

Will report back in the summer, lol
