Tires Continental or Firestone
i just got a set for a hundred bucks off marketplace. Continental brand 225/60/R17 and theyre pretty damn good.
Our other car is a 2015 mazda 3 with continental vikings. No complaints there as well.
First driving impressions reveal that the ride is indeed much improved, speed humps are no longer intimidating and it rides much smoother and quieter on your typical city street.
People said these tires handle like garbage. I was skeptical—and yeah, they’re a bit squishy at first—but honestly, unless you’re trying to turn your grocery run into a Formula 1 race, they’re actually decent. The family has stopped complaining, which is a miracle; these tires actually soften the blow of our awful roads. Range is about the same, but the noise? Night and day. Old Contis were basically a marching band on wheels; now it’s quiet enough to enjoy the ride without wanting earplugs.
They have been fantastic, drove through huge rain storms and never felt unsafe once
Just got these to replace my OEM contis that lasted 40k miles. So far I’m loving the SRS+.
I’ve used Continental (very good), Hankook (good), Goodyear (good - worse handling in summer than Conti but excellent in winter, higher wear).
I ran the Continental Extreme Contact Force on my VA and it's a great endurance 200 tire.
I had that problem when I switched from the OEM Michelins on my Model 3 to the Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 tires; I lost about 10% range.
I had the Firestone AT years ago on a Ranger. Complete trash! Didn’t last for shit & barely any off-road traction.
