Whatever you do, stay awat from the ContiSport Contact tires. They came on many cars including BMW 3 Series and Audi A4s.

These tires are very dangerous in the rain, so have no traction what so ever. I was driving on the parkway today, and spun across 3 lanes. My car is a fwd. Good think no one hit me or i didn't hit anybody. I lost complete control of my car, going 45-50 in moderate rain. I just ended up scuffing my rear bumper and bending the tip of my muffler.

Just a tip for you guys, stay away from these tires. I just read the reviews on tirerack, something i should have done before, these tires are HORRIBLE.
 
I am not sure. I know they came on some 3 series BMW, Sentra SER-V , Audi a4. I think the are on most entry level german cars, which are still german cars, so you would expect them to be good.

These tires are really bad though, on tire rack, it has like a 6.8 traction in rain, thats more like a 3.5 to me. These thing are a death trap. When i told my friend a fwd spinning across 3 lanes, they could not believe me, in moderate rain and not even above 65mphs. Straight road. Now even a corner. I had cheap Hankook tires, and they were better than these thing in the rain. What a waste of $150. I would not even take these thing for free because they are just not worth your life.

Worst tires i ever had on my car.
