got 78,000 on oem Continentals. Tire vendor thought I could still push for another 10,000 miles… In South Florida on mostly smooth roads.
I run Conti ECS, they are a performance street tire. It's what BMW M cars come with.
I’m a Continental Michelin tire guy. I have the extreme contacts on my ZL1 camaro and they handle great for the buck.
These tires are way quieter, stiffer on turns and gives me slightly better range (was at 340kwh now at 300kwh)
Turanza T005 definitely is the best option, and that is a *very good* tire.
Bridgestone weatherpeak on my 2021. Seems to be a great tire for all kinds of weather
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.
My opinion is that these are very mild offroad tires. Better than regular street tires with slight improvement for off pavement. But on my Tacoma, the tires would spin quite easily in loose dirt going up hill on an 6-8 degree grade.
I got rid of the Continentals because the rubber was way too soft. I was always getting flats in those tires.
