In the USA, the switch was from 225-45-17XL "Z" rated summer tires on Aeros (and Gary Fisher wagons), with 215-55-16 "H" (or "V"?) rated all season tires for other flavors, to 235-45-17 "H" (or "V"?) rated all season tires across the board. The 235 gives a softer ride, being all season, having a larger cross section, and having a lower speed rating. It has the same rolling diameter as the 215-55-16 tires, saving the nuisance of resetting the speedometer calibration (with a Tech II) every time you switch from snow tires to summer tires and back again (for those using the 16 inch snow tire option).
"Standard Continentals" would have been Conti Pro Contact, not "Extreme Contact DWS".
