I have the Continental Extreme Contact DW's on my 9000 in 205/50-16 size and they have excelent wet and dry weather handling. They are almost as good as the Michelin Pilot Exalto PE2's they replaced, which was a much more expensive tire and is no longer available in that size.
The one thing that is noticable is that the tires take a set overnight when it is cool. This is true of every tire I've ever owned with a nylon cap (the Michelin's had rayon). The slight thump goes away as the tires warm up, which is about a mile's travel for me.
