And, Lance was right! (That I should trust my first inclination).

Just got a call from Mike from Midwest Wheel & Tire and after a very nice discussion [re] the types of road conditions I would be experiencing here in the Great State of Maine over winter - cold but mostly dry, or cold and somewhat wet - I have decided to go with the All-Season Continental Extreme Contact DWS. I'll use them for winter and swap them out with, for now, the Pirellis P-Zeros (until which time I will switch to MSS) for the rest of the year.

Thank you for your help and valued input.

 

Welcome back, Jay. Another happy customer!
