Here in Pa we just had our first snow. The day before the snow my Continental Conti Extream Contact tires arrived. Rated as one of the best all season Ultra-High performance tires on tire rack I must say the tires and the evo were perfect. I drove everywhere including unplowed roads with eight inches of the white fluffy. I could climb any hill and take corners at a reasonable speed with ease. I could go faster and make amazingly smooth drifts. On the dry road I drift far easier with the all season tires as expected. They are not even close to the stock tires on the dry road but in the northeast where we have snow, wet and dry all in the same trip they are excellent.
