Continental Extreem Contact DWS 06 205-50-16
Just bought a set Saturday $542.00 out the door for my 2015 Passion Berry Pearl EX. I got 52,000 miles out of the original stockers and tread was still decent but one strike (flat) it was time for new ones. I had a set on a 2006 Miata of the old version (not 06 numbered) and was really impressed with them on that car . As I put some miles on them I will give yall a report on noise, wet traction and handling with my Fit. So far in just 50 miles they transformed ye old Fit into thinking its a sports car lol! A really big difference but the stock tires were worn and frankly I got used to below average Handling..I did a lot of research and was ready but it took a flat and roadside assistance to get the purchase past KathyJo lol! Factory tires did not look bad but today I feel much safer if I'm rolling down I-75 in heavy rain here in Florida as this tire was made for just that purpose. No rebate now but one is coming in June I think. Look at them if you need one of the best all season tires that fit our Fits!

Ive never tried to post pictures in this forum before..I'll give it a shot on Tuesday. They really, really look better in my opinion than the stock tires..Just a little wider and I think that size and tire will protect the rim too.

I have 3,000 miles on them now and they are truly exceeding my expectations. The very best aspect is how well they run in the rain. Here in Florida we get heavy downpours and will sometimes have 2 or even 3 inches of water laying on the road and its so easy to hydroplane at 70 mph or more. That can be very scary! I really don't push my Fit hard on twisty roads or on ramps but they do feel better when I do drive faster. I wish I had put them on when I first bought the car like I had originally planned but it's never too late to be safer..
