ContiExtreme DWS on the SVX and Legacy now, so far much, much better, and they would have to try very hard to wear as badly as the Exclaims wore down. Bad uneven wear, and LOTS of road noise.
Actually the wear is the one good point for my Generals. With 4 years and 25 or 30,000 km on them they've still got plenty of tread left. What I hate about them is the mediocre grip and especially the flimsy sidewalls. It was acceptible on stock suspension, but with the coilovers transferring so much more energy to the tires they just can't keep up. I've been running them at 40 PSI front and 35 rear in an attempt to get more responsiveness, but it's just not happening.

Harvey.
*shrug* To each their own. It's not my thing, but I'm not going to attack someone else for running the setup they chose. I agree with Chuckls though, lets not get into that arguement here. All it serves is to inflame tempers.
