Need opinion about: Continental CH-95

I just found here in brooklyn local shop having a special sale for brand new Continental ContiTouring Contact CH95 Size:215/55-16 for My nissan maxima 1997 gle, I already have new rims from 2001 GLE maxima 16 inch. Their price is $280 for all 4 tires and it includes install, balancing and allignment.

So what do you think?

Thanks!

I don't like conti's. There kind of soft. Nice smooth ride, but handling wise..

I am on very limited budget, and never race car! Just do a lot of street drivings and some hwy. Plus I was told they are very good for car handling since they are soft so car will go faster?

I have these tires on my car now >>

A set of four for the 16" rims. Awesome tires. These are great in the snow, and better than average in the snow. They are fairly quiet (grand touring classification) and seem to wear nicely. If you're going autocrossing, definitely not the tire for you...since they have a wider shoulder and a higher sidewall than the average tire in the same size. These tires are Euro-code approved and have the M+S certification. I payed $72 a tire so your price is just right.

These will not make your car go faster. They will however (depending on what tires you have now), affect the amount of control you have on dry ground as well as wet surfaces and snow covered ground.
