Conti Extreme Contacts out of stock everywhere?

I can't find them in stock. I need tires. Don't want to pay double for Pilots.

Does anybody know where they can be found?

I have a set with less than 500 miles on them if you're interested. 255/35 and 285/30 (for 19's).

Vredestein Sessantas are a great alternative at a better price than the Continentals. Assuming 19's, you'd need to get 255/35's and 275/35's. Read about them here: http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthr...268043&page=19

Look into Bridgestone RE-11s (18 and 19's) or Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec (18's only) as well. Lots of other good alternatives to both the Conti's and Pilot Sports. The Pilot Sports are not the best summer tire btw There are better choices like the two I mentioned.

depends on your size if you normally run 255 265 you can go to 275 285 on the same wheels with no problems

Which ones were you looking for? There're 2s, 3s, 5Ps, DWs and DWSs . I'm looking for DWSs myself, but will have to wait until May since they're nationally backordered. And I don't want the Pilots either (the only alternative in UHP A/S). Oh well. At least I don't need the tires now, so as long as it's before winter, I'd be fine .

The 275/35s are backordered everywhere also. I'm debating mixing the Vreds 255/35 in the front with my 265/35 PS2s in the back.

I was hoping to switch out the whole set.
