This is the link to my checkout page after I loaded 4 Contis into my shopping cart & elected to ship & have installed w/Tire Rack's local installer. I don't know if this will be visible but try it & see. The cost of $196.00 is toward the bottom of the page. Under the displayed price of $196.00, click on "Pricing Details & Premium Services". Don't know what premium services are, but I don't see any in the listed details.
Edit: More on the improved steering & turn-in behavior that I touched on in one of my responses here to Laz. Pure speculation on my part, but I've been wondering why the difference between the former Conti & this new 02. I believe the improvement (to me anyway it's an improvement) results from tweaking of the sidewalls (firmer) & also likely some changes in the carcass just above the tread patterns, i.e. stiffer carcass. Another thing I noticed is the tread patterns are al little different. Both the inner & outer shoulders are wider than before, especially the outer, & the water channeling grooves in both inner & outer shoulders are a little shallower to my eye & they are sort of "bullet shaped". So perhaps these shoulders themselves are a bit stiffer, resulting in the accurate & sticky straight forward character, which quickly gives way when a turn is executed. Once again, I really, really like driving these tires fast on the highway.
