Tires Continental or Goodyear
Goodyear Assurance MaxLife - 225/55R19 99V Tire from Sams Club. $800 installed ($100 off). In NYS 60 miles north of NYC.
Tires are everything. They are the only part of your bike that touches the ground and they make the biggest difference in rolling resistance and comfort.
Spend your money on GOOD TIRES before boosting the performance. The car gets very torquey when tuned, and if you don\u2019t have rubber that can grip the road consistently, you will find yourself spinning if you start out a bit too exuberantly. I have Continental ProContact all seasons.
I’ve had my set for a few years and I have no complaints. I’ve had no issues getting around in snow with them.
I just got set of 4 rated for 80k miles (Goodyear) installed, balanced, with roadside assistance etc for $450 all in for cyber monday at walmart
We have most recently been purchasing Goodyear from Walmart. They tend to have good sales in November and December. We have gotten 4 sets from there in the past 2 years (including last month). So many because we have 7 vehicles.
From that list I would get the Continental Conti Ultra Contact because it's the quietest tire there with A tier wet performance.
I put on Continental DWS06 tires in 245/40R18 and ran them the last 2 winters. They are good all around. But I feel they lack grip on sharp turns and don’t turn in as much as I would like (in snow). They aren’t fantastic on ice either. They are good if you are going to run one tire all year round. But after the wear to the point the “S” is no longer visible, I imagine the will not do great in the winter and you’ll have to replace them sooner.
My Goodyear assurance weather ready tire had dry rot after 40K miles.
Conti’s are the most fragile tire. Sidewall bubble will show up for potholes you don’t even recall hitting.
