^ I’m not typically a fan of TSX’s body lines but that (with or without the rack) is awesome/perfect.

You dont like the Conti DW? Have them on my TL and like them too, very comfy, fairly quiet, and grip well I feel. And theyre brand new :lol Just wicked dirty. I really wish I had gone 18" on the RPF1, strictly on looks, but oh well.

DW’s get crazy loud as they get older. I’m on my second set. And I think the price went up on em, when I first got the…I got all 4 for like $415 and that was 245/45/18. I think they run me more around $600 now last I checked.

I got them through TireRack with the Rpf1’s, and they were just under 500… but I got a free Nook for my girl, so it worked out :lol

Strongly thinking about scooping a set of TSW Nurburgring 17x8 et35 for this, in bronze of course. Any suggestion for tires, quiet for daily, but I need decent grip too.

Prob won’t sell the Rpf1, I bought them new and they have like 3k miles now. Rpf1 are 17x8 et45 and I have 215/50 on them. The Tsw rims are 17x8 et35, so not even sure how they would fit yet. I found a used set that’s the only reason I’m even thinking of doing this.

Oops, my bad. For some reason I forgot Continental made a summer only version of the ExtremeContacts.

I have the DWS (all-season) and THOSE are crazy loud as they wear. Haven’t driven the DW’s though.
