They're speed rated to V, but the Continental ContiProContact all season tires do not provide the traction of summer tires-like the Michelin Pilot Sport 2s, which are the tires used on V6 Aeros in Europe (at least that's what I glean from pictures in the brochure and on the International site). All season tires are a compromise-and the Aero V6 should not have to apologize for its lack of traction, Unfortunately, it does-thanks to its sorry tires.
BMW doesn't put all season tires on its M class cars, nor does Mercedes put them on its AMG class cars. Volvo has summer tires on its R class tires. Why does SAAB put all seasons on its high performance model?
They (Conti ContiProContact) could be rated Z for all I care-in the end, they're all season tires-not high performance summer tires.
