I am running these on my S4 biturbo now.  My previous tires were
Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3s, and prior to that I had Conti SportContact 2
(all in 235/40-18).

The ContiExtremeContact DW is easily the best riding tire amongst
them all, and very quiet.  But it doesn't give up much in terms
of performance, maybe just a little bit less razor sharp than the
Eagle F1 GS-D3, but more than makes up for it in comfort.  It also
has excellent traction in the wet.

The only thing I wish the CEC DW had was a more pronounced "rim protector",
which the Eagle F1 GS-D3 had.  It helps reduce the likelihood of
curb scratches.

So all in all, I'm happy with it.  The price is also attractive for
its class.
