Tires Continental or Goodyear
I did have Continental ExtremeContact DSW06's on my ST and they were really good.
They felt so sketchy I went out and dropped 800 on continentals and I can barely make them break traction and can corner way harder. Feel more planted and safe.
My wife purchased a used Acura Integra. When I drove it just didn't handle as precise as I expected. We replaced them with.... Continental. All of a sudden the handling was much better and safer.
You could save some money and have better handling by choosing something that's not run flat. I use Continental Extreme Contact tires (\~$947 installed with no alignment at Les Schwab, and yes I could have gotten them cheaper elsewhere but LS gives out credit like it's free candy) and I love them so far...
Conti's DH tires are just the best. Its almost concerning how much grip I have compared to similar maxxis tires.
The current DH Conti line is the best tire out there right now. But holy crap, is it hard to get on rims.
As a Maxxis rider who hasn't tried Michy but has tried Conti... Conti are the best tires I've ever run so far. And I liked the Maxxis overall. It's hard to imagine a tire better than these Contis.
My car had tires from 2015, so I swapped all the tires for a set of new Conti ECS. 02s which has been great.
Coming from OEM 275/60-20 Wranglers.
Recalibrated using a Taser. Noticed a 2.5 mpg drop, using the lie-o-meter.
Noticeable reduction in peppiness and extended braking, but still love it.
On my 1500, I didn’t even hit 27k before mine dry rot and had to be replaced. Thanks a-lot Goodyear…but I’d say yours are getting real close.
