Hey guys.. thank you for all of your responses. After reading so much on the forums and reviews, I decided to go with Continental Extreme Contact DWS due to their long threadlife. I really need my tires to last long time so I'll settle for less performance for now. Thanks again!

To be honest, I don't think it's entirely possible to say exactly how much of a drop off you'll experience because there are a lot of factors that go into tire wear. If you drive your car hard you can expect your tires to wear out quicker than if you just putt around town.
