I like the Conti's

Unless you track your car, it is illegal to go 150 mph. Having said that, I will say I enjoy the quiet and confident ride I get from Continental Extreme DWS. I only have them on the rears though and here is why. Originally bought the DW's but the right rear got slick within 10000 miles. Looking at the tread wear ratings, I replaced both rears with DWS, since my 986 is my daily commuter now. Using the butt dyno, I do not notice any difference of traction. As comparison, my cars' previous driver had kumho ecsta on and it was feeling very dangerously loose in cold weather and rain. Continental Extreme contact was an upgrade for me. I work in the body shop of a German car manufacturing facility and have nothing to gain from my recommendation. Just sharing my experience, hoping it is helpful.

I have been over 135 mph on these tires though, but I forget which road I was on...
