I ran some Continental ExtremeContact Force for a year on my GRC. The only thing that killed them is when it got too cold here in FL "15 degrees in the winter" and the bands popped. Still had good tread and did 25k miles on them, 5 tracks days, tons of mountain roads while on road trips, and were pretty good on the road till the end.
Pros: good tread, pretty good
Cons: killed by cold
Mileage: 40233 km
Long time Falken user here- the 615’s last forever, and give you great performance value. I recommend these tires to newer intermediate drivers that are starting to need something grippy, but not too grippy that it starts to cover up your mistakes / become a crutch.
Pros: great performance value, last forever
Cons: not great in wet
Continental ECS2 are good on the street, comfortable and quiet, and more resistant to shoulder-chunking than Michelin PS4S on track.
Pros: good, comfortable, quiet
Running them on my VW. 245/40/17. 2 autox and a track day and just worn off the sword fish in the tread.
Pros: good wear, track day
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I really liked the Yokohama Advan’s for the money and the Continental extreme Contacts for their rain grooves and their performance exceeds a Ps4s (on my car anyway)
Pros: good for the money
I’ve run RS4s for the last 3 years. First set lasted 2 years, about 14 track days and 10K miles total between street driving (April to October) and track miles. They saw rain both on track and street without issue. They would have lasted longer but I picked up a puncture on one of them. It’s not a fast tire but it lasts and is very flexible. I’ve driven them in high 30 to low 40 degree weather with no drama.
Pros: lasts long, very flexible
Cons: not a fast tire
Mileage: 16093 km
The Phantoms are a decent tire for the price. They're a Discount Tire brand but manufactured by Kumho. I'd personally recommend the Phantom because both tires are fairly equal but those are cheaper. That being said they're both not particularly good. They'll get the job done and that's about it.
Pros: decent tire for price
Cons: not particularly good
Their summer tires are not guaranteed- I had a set of rears that I paid over $800 after 700 miles they had major uneven wear and alignment was spot on. I called sent pics and they said we don’t guarantee those tires - p-zero’s.
Cons: major uneven wear
Mileage: 700 km
My pirellis handled well but God was their longevity shite Pretty much cooked by 20,000ks All other tyres gave me 60,000+
Pros: handled well
Cons: longevity shite
Mileage: 20000 km
