    Last summer, switched to Conti Extreme Contact, 205 45 17 from Tire Rack shipped to Mach V and installed. Worked out great all the way around. Mach V even saved me a couple bucks by rebuilding two of the tire pressure sensors instead of replacing. Tires are quiet, responsive and increased steering torque due to increased traction. Recovery after breaking loose is rather quick. Added ceramic brake pads at same time, so stopping power is attributed to a combination of factors.

    So much for m typing... Mach V (Dan) got the Rota wheels replaced under warranty. Also bought the brake pads from him. Ordered the "special" caliper compression tool online, worked great. Hardest part was removal of the sensors, used fishing line to patiently pull without breaking.

    Same wheels and issues with 2 of the 4. Under warranty, Mach got the replaced. For the dust, put on ceramic brake pads.
