It's strange, when I take it in for rotation/balance/alignment the techs always say "Oh, you have the Continentals". I don't know if that means I spend more than the average customer, they are superior tires, or both.

Tires are expensive and often overlooked by consumers who think the $99 no-name serves it's purpose equally well as the $2-300 Michelin/Conti. Most people don't notice but the guys at a tire shop definitely would.
