Wear and tear on the track is tires and brake pads. My OEM Conti tires lasted 3 track days and 4650 miles, instead of the 10k miles they are rated for. Learn how to inspect your pads visually so you can see how much material is left.
I just did exactly what you're doing -- exact same tires -- and found the Continental every bit as good as the Michelin, so I went with Continental, only in 255s in my case. Anyway, I'm really happy with my Continentals and glad I made that choice. Considering the stiffer ride that comes with wider tires the 18 Continentals proved a good choice. The handling is way better; love it.
I was torn between these two myself but went with the dw06 because of all the reviews saying that the pilot sports wear out fast. The dw06 is quiet and great in the rain so I think I made the right choice.
Continental PureContact LS. Also have them on my A3 Etron. The tires were less expensive and have much better grip and handling. They also are quieter and longer lasting.
Why is Continental nowhere on this chart?
I have their tires in all my cars and they are pretty good
I’ve been on my BFGs for more than 50 and still have tread
Good luck and perhaps try nittos or bfg’s next(my bud with a trd offroad taco got 66k out of his ko2’s, which is why we are trying them on the wife’s 4rnr)
The front looks ok but I also just got contis and put them on even with some life left on my old specialized.
I got the Falkens and they lasted me like a year. I got the BFGs and I've had them for 2 years and I'm at 70% life
They are awful in snow. So I only run them for 6 months, and Continental Viking Contact 7 winter tires for the other 6 months. 8000 miles on each and only a little wear.
