I don't have experience with that particular model. But I've had the previous version of these on my Alero for a while.. and they're the best all around tire I've ever had.

ok. ive always heard good about continental as a brand, so im sure they make decent tires. and since i can get a set of 4 with 60-70% tread left for less than $200, id say its worth it.

Continentals run out of tread pretty quickly. I just bought a new set of tires for my rims (Goodyear Eagle GT) for 30$ more from discount tire. Right now they have a deal for continentals that you get a free tomtom with purchase of 4 tires for one vehicle. That just adds on to my claim that they are not that great of tires if they need to give you a GPS as well for buying their products.

well just about anything i get is better than whats on there now. the set is gonna be like $175 shipped for all 4 of them, so even if i get a couple summers out of them itll be worth it.

If they are 175$ shipped then they probably have barely any life left. I think the seller just doesn't want to pay for tire disposal fee's so he is giving you his garbage imo.

nope, looks like there is at least 50%, probly closer to 60-70% on two of them. hes just got a lot of tires and needs to move them quickly.
