Continential ExtremeWinterContact--new for 09

[Rand]

These are new tires for 09
after getting a good review from my tirerack guy luke
I went with these.
The review/test will be up on tirerack soon.
He basically said these were a good susprise in how good they are .. the blizzack ws-60 is still slightly better, these are
better handling on dry/wet -- T rated vs Q for blizzacks.

4--195/65R15 WITH steel rims mounted balanced shipped 550$ with 50 visa card rebate = 500$ out the door roadforce balanced.

I somehow uploaded the wrong tread detail photo here is the correct one. the gray/white shading is from the flash..
the tire is all black with no dirt or anything on it.

with this imageshack hosting you can click on the image about 3 times for higher and higher res images.

They have a nice tread pattern on them. What country are they made in? I know Continental has many European plants in Germany, France, and in the Czech Republic.
