I'm pushing up close to the 30,000 mile mark on my 2010 VW Jetta and I have one tire with a sidewall bulge. The tread on all 4 is worn down enough that the wet traction is becoming pretty bad. In short, its simply time for these tires to be replace.
Digging around I went to the Tire Rack website and it looks like the Continental Extreme Contact DWS has some great reviews and is ranked by users as the #1 tire in its category. But those are user reviews and since we don't know the background of the users we don't know how easy they are to impress???

I'm wondering if there is some company that actually does some sort of objective testing of things like traction and road noise (someone like UL) where I could confirm the user reviews?
