I have the Conti extreme contact DW tires on mine and I am not impressed with them. Only good things about them is they last longer than the factory contisport 2's and I can squeal the tires lol. The factory ContiSport 2's had more grip and would hook better and if you spun them I always had wheel hop. They looked better too made the car look like it had a wider tire due to the rim protector lip. They only lasted 36k though. I don't like DW's because they don't have that lip and made the wheel more vulnerable to rocks which have chipped my wheel Paint 
.They don't really look as good as the ContiSport 2's did

Today: Changed the Oil on the car, Flushed all the brake fluid and bled them a few times. Checked that the new sway bar didn't loosen up after this weekend's autox, an replaced a couple of loose clips in the splash shields under the front end. Drove it down to see my family in Florida after that. 350 miles. No issues.
New Werks Cold side pipe came in, didn't get to put it on though.

I have the DW. They have MUCH better forward and side grip than the stock contact2.

[QUOTE=ECaulk;7089289]What is your set up? Granted the DWS are different than the DW, I only get the tires to break by dumping the clutch or my 2nd gear boost spike on an uphill or a road that has excess dirt/stones. Never had the stock tires, i forget what goodyears I had, but those broke at the build of boost, granted near end of life, but still.
My setup is still on stock suspension. I notice a few days ago the tires started breaking loose on boost spikes in second. I accelerated hard in second gear and heard some squealing. Thought to myself "was that me? No way!" So I duplicated it at the next stop and it did it again "hmm...No, ****." They were ok except when I bought them they were hella expensive. All the tires were for this thing. Now all the tires are cheaper.

No idea yet on the Werks pipe. I've got to pick it up at my mailbox when I get back from Vacation on Monday, and probably won't be putting it on for a couple of weeks. I'll take pics when I get it, but as of yet haven't laid eyes on it.
