I've had the tires on for @ 2 weeks and about 100 miles, no problems at all. I'm still very impressed. Sorry you are having trouble. Hope the replacments fix it. BTW about 15 years ago I had a GM product that couldn't be balanced. GM tried to get me to buy new tires. I called Detroit and got the runaround. When I mentioned "arbitration" they folded. Turned out the tires had been recalled for being out of round! And they wonder why people don't buy thier cars!

Can you tell me about how many miles you have driven on the Conti's?? I have just put them on my wifes 06 to replace the Dunlop RF and I have had nothing but problems for the second day they were on the car.
Strange vibrations that seems to change slightly
Had them balanced 3 times in 10 days and they are still not right
Car pulls off to the right and it did not do that with the Dunlops
I bought them from Tirerack and they are sending me 2 replacements for free to mount and balance to see if that fixes the problem. Customer service person said I could have tires that are out of round?? Even my wife that never complains about anything agrees that the car rides and feels like there's something wrong. I agree that the price was great but if I can't get this resolved I would not even want these tires if they were free. Anyone else out there in cyber land having issues with there DWS'S please chime in.
Thanks for listening

I just got back from a 3200 mile trip from Salt Lake - Seattle - Pacific coast highway- San Diego - Salt Lake. Contis performed very well. They do need to be warmed up in the morning for a few miles to get the overnite flat spots out, but after that they are fine. The right front tire now seems to be out of balance at 85- 90 mph. I'll check it out to see if that's it or it's become out of round. Nice trip, rediculous car for 85000 miles. I'm so impressed that I'll be looking for the new version!

I drifted in from the LS forum as I have a 04 LS430. Plan on putting on the new Goodyear comfortred Touring. Friends and family sale and rebate got em for 100 bucks a piece. Rated ahead of MXV4's(my current tire I have been happy with) and number one in grand touring all season category at TR. Hope I do not regret it. I had the regular comforttred on when I bought er 100 k ago and had a lil wobble at 35 I could not get rid of, but otherwise it was a good quiet tire. 144k on the ls brakes tires oil changes nothing else.Knock Knock

Just put on Michelin's for 900 Bucks. My car drives like new, and I have a 60K warranty. Based on my usual wear out at 15K miles, my real cost should be around $400 bucks. Very happy with these tires.
