Continental Extreme Contact DWS are what I have on both my S and my NSX. I recommend them!

What kinda tire life mileage do you get from those Conti's.

Thanks!

I think that's what Rick has purchased as well.

I don't drive the NSX enough to give you an accurate number, but I replaced the tires on the S two years ago and have driven about 12,000 miles, and I would say I have 30 to 40% of the tread left. Probably about 70% of the miles were highway driving, and the rest split evenly between city and twisty driving.

A deep dive at the Tire Rack will answer all your questions when it comes to tires - performance, ride, handling, noise, etc.

I miss junk yard picking. or simply wandering around looking at the wrecks and trying to figure out what happened.

Me too, junkyards back in the day were the best. Finding something old and cool in the middle of the newer wrecked stuff was like a treasure hunt.
This was the last one I went to Hall's Garage | Scituate, RI

Thanks, for the answer! I had Conti's on my old BMW 2002Ti. Great handling. Very low mileage --- like under 20K.

Went to Yokohama AVS Sports tires (what they were called back then) on that car. Those are very, very nice too.
