The continental DWS-06 is a pretty nice ultra high performance A/S tire though not offered in the 225-60/16 size. Have about 1,700 miles on these and they did well dealing with the rain in Cen Cal. About $800 mounted balanced for the 245/40-18.

Thanks everyone for your input, just wanted to update. I went with Michelin Premier A/S and love it, it drives very smooth very comparable to the primacy I had. Got a super deal on it as well, $440 out the door installed. After $100 mail in rebate and $60 off on America tire discount CC. Hopefully this will last as long as my Primacy.
