Those are the new tires I got on my Oldsmobile Intrigue. They are V rated! :shock: That's means they can handle 149mph... :lol:
Anyways, that's not the main reason I got them...
First of all, I read some reviews on Tire Rack and one guy said he drove through 4" of snow with no problem....and since I live in Michigan, this was a big plus. :thumbup:
They are a performance all-season tire, so they are meant to handle the wet, snow covered, and dry roads. First thing I noticed when driving home with them on the freshly snowed on roads was that I had much more control...and the LOW TRAC didn't come on at all! On dry roads, the ride also seems much smoother (previous tires were some Goodyear RS-As). Next up, wet roads (yes, this is all recent weather.... :lol: crazy Michigan), when I accelerate from a stop light on a wet road, I no longer squeel my tires out when I go....so my start time is quicker (not like I'm racing or anything :lol:)....

Overall, these tires have some awesome traction and really grip the road well....yet they also provide a smooth and quiet ride.

That's my review on the Continental ContiExtremeContact tires.

I've got the factory performance RSA's on the alero and they are good in the snow we had 10" and I was able to drive all 25 miles to work on unplowed streets. Only after I got back home after work did I learn that it was a level 3 snow emergency and could have been arrested for driving both to and from work! i never got stuck anywhere not even in the 4"-5" areas where i had to park. i imagine the intrigue would be good too. what did they cost you and what tire size are they?

The RS-As were terrible on my car....
I went to Belle Tire, they had to special order the tires. They were $130 each....225/60VR16
