Not the 02 but I had a set of the Conti ECSs on my stage 1 MK7 R and loved them. Great wet traction, especially under power, and they were fairly quiet. I also have them on my current E92 M3 and they've stood up very well to two track days so far. Loads of dry grip.
I run Goodyear EagleSports ($125 a tire) all seasons and they’re fantastic. Had them for 4 years now and they’ve gotten me thru everything from 1/2ft of rainfall to 2ft of snow all without losing grip.
I bought the Conti Sport 02's for my E63S and the grip is very good. If these can that much torque and weight, they should be a breeze with the R.
For summer i have been running continental extreme contact sports. They have been great and very grippy!
All season: Continental DSW06+
Summer: Michelin Pilot Sport 4S
Honestly though, the Continental’s held up great in summer too. Good in snow as well
I would. Ran my 10 yr old Goodyear on the old RV til bald and one developed a crack after 2k miles but then I replaced them with Sailuns' TERRAMAX for another few thousand in 3 years and hit Colorado narrow trails in the 1977 class c sportsman those terra max amazed me.
Running 19” Goodyear assurance maxlife. Overall satisfied with these tires. One little quirk is they grab grooved pavement more than the stock Toyo’s. This causes a noticeable side to side sway in the car.
Switched to DH SuperSoft Kryptotal Front w/o cushcore. Great setup. Conti DH weighs same as Assegai EXO+. More damped, faster rolling, great grip.
Haven't used them in the snow yet but Discount Tire will match Walmart's $146.00 price on the 235/50/17 Continental Pure Contacts. I've had really good luck with Continentals on my Edge, Taurus and Fusions. They've been OK in Michigan winters but nothing spectacular.
Stock Goodyear tires on our 2020 MYLR were dead before 12,000 miles. Been buying tires from DiscountTire ever since.
