There's no such thing as "Ultra High Performance All-Season Tires", that just means it's mediocore in everything.

If you don't have snow in your area, I suggest you pick up a set of Summer tires.

You can check this site for more customer's feedback.

IMO, I'm not too fond of Continental tires. I have a set of Yokohama AVS ES100 on my Camry, and they handle like a dream as I do take my car on the track.

well if you want any summer performance then youll pretty much have no winter traction. it would be well worth your money to invest in a set of good winter tires, and a set of summer/high performance tires
