I am very happy with my Continental ExtremeContact D+W.

I had the Perelli's previously, I found them to be very expensive, very loud and they wore out extremely fast. Worst tires I've ever had on any car.

I was looking for a summer tire that had some manners. I am very happy with the Continentals. The Continental is rated as a "max performance summer tire", but its much more of a plush ride by comparison. Quiet, and smooth and they do great on the highway. Excellent in the wet. I do think you give up a little compared to the Michelin PS2s in term of maximum dry grip. I don't track my car and I am very happy with these tires and would buy them again.
