CLK500 RWD

Most likely one of the best performance tire on the market today.
S500 W/O TPMS
- Miles Driven On Tires:1000

I have not driven on these a lot as I have been driving another vehicle however I have been happy with their performance.
Optima SXL
- Miles Driven On Tires:500
- Driving Conditions:Mixed Dry Rain
- Driving Style:Mixed Highway and City
Only have one weeks worth of driving on them so far, but if they are half as good on my wife's Optima as they were on her Legacy they will still be 100x better than the stock tires we replaced! Not expecting them to perform like they did on an all wheel drive Subaru but I'm fairly confident they will make a world of difference compared to the stockers. Will update if my opinion changes...
X3 35I

- Driving Conditions:Mostly Dry

Somewhat noisy, good in the snow. Prefer a more traditional tread design like Michelin or Pirelli. Discount is super from a Custer experience perspective.
Jetta TDI Sedan
- Miles Driven On Tires:12000
- Driving Conditions:Mixed Dry Rain
- Driving Style:Mixed Highway and City
These are my favorite passenger car tire. The first set of these I had on another vehicle. They perform flawlessly. In total I have driven roughly 250,000 miles on the Extreme DWS tires. I have yet to have a traction problem. When we bought the Jetta, I traded in the new tires that came standard, and put a set of these on the car. They are pricey but I get anywhere from 65-80k out of each set. Not bad for a performance tire.
