I'm looking forward to wearing them out so I can put some Continental ExtremeContact DWS tires on there- I've had them on 3 different vehicles, and they are tremendous.

Because Ford has a contract with Pirelli for a lot of their "higher end" tires on vehicles. There are some Pirellis that are excellent, but the P Zero that come on the Brembo and Track Pack aren't as good as they should be for a car like ours.
Also, on those Continentals, are you getting DW or DWS? The DWS is an all season, so grip will be marginal. You would want the DW as it's the summer tire.
