Our roads are very rough especially after the harsh winters. KontiSportContact 2' were recommended and i beleive are certified. Thanks for any advice.

Did you order the F1 All Seasons or the F1 GS-D3? If the GS-D3, be aware that Tirerack has the fronts listed as backorder. I ordered a set from Discount Tire, got the rears and am still waiting for the fronts. They don't seem to be available anywhere. On the other hand, the GS-D3s have gotten great reviews for both wet and dry conditions though, as Perfectlap noted, they're not considered to be good in the cold.
