I got mine from tire rack aswell. Those conti are awesome for the price. I tryed them out last sunday (snowed here about 2 in) and I was amazed how well the car stuck to the road. And also the other morning on my way to work there was a big patch of ice near my exit , the car handle as if there wasnt any ice I highly recommend these aswell. For anyone in the MD area, I had my tires change at merchants on 355, I guess we get a 10% discount if they are bought through tirerack.

The little bit of snow this morning was a big tease. A good test will be about 4 inches.
based on the handling I have experienced so far, these tires won't be as stuck on the ground as your setup, but I will be able to hang the *** out and powerslide and you won't....
Well, we will see..Maybe they will be like ADVANS in heavier snow cover, but I doubt it..Like I said, the choice was tough to do dedicated snows or the Conti's..
The real good news though, is the noise level inside the car won't be as bad as if I had dedicated snows..That always annoyed me greatly..sounds like a steady truck hum at all speeds..

The drive is softer and less noisy with snows which is always nice. The advan tire drone can get a little annoying. Of course this is just a noisy stiff car but handles like a go kart.
