Tires Continental or KENDA
I am happy with my Continental Control Contact Sport SRS+ for $162 each. I only see dry weather so I can't commit to the rain or snow preference.
I have 21k miles on them and they are wearing well.
I would get the Continental ECF if I was just doing track days and not competing for lap times. Sounds like they wear like iron and are very consistent. And they have symmetric tread, so you can “flip” them to equalize shoulder wear.
nah those stock tires suck i blew out a tire after hitting a pothole
i got contis no pothole pops since
Just replaced my front toyos at 36k miles that had about 1mm of tread above the indicator (replaced with contis)
Did Michelin second and got 35,000 then did continental dws last fall.
Kenda UHP Max+ are a great double-duty tire. They last long and have great grip. They are pretty good in wet conditions too.
I ran some Continental ExtremeContact Force for a year on my GRC. The only thing that killed them is when it got too cold here in FL "15 degrees in the winter" and the bands popped. Still had good tread and did 25k miles on them, 5 tracks days, tons of mountain roads while on road trips, and were pretty good on the road till the end.
Continental ECS2 are good on the street, comfortable and quiet, and more resistant to shoulder-chunking than Michelin PS4S on track.
... Continentals ... incredible to 50% tread wear in my experience ... then not so incredible even with 5-6,000 mile balance/rotations.
The service manager of my local tire dealership told me these Continental tires were great tires. Never had continental tires before. The first time there was a bubble on the sidewall of the tire of course they never told me about the warranty or the class action lawsuit over it. So I shelled out $350 to have it replaced. The second time it blew out by the same company who sold them to me but a different location. They told me it should be under warranty and it took a while, but they ended up having no charge But I had to pay the $35 warranty in case it happened again and the tire and balance along with it. Not too long after that tire had the same issue (bubble) luckily I've been through it before and got it replaced for free, but not after a bunch of jacking around and of course, my time my effort and waiting for them to do it and the balancing etc. fees Here I am in July 2024 and another bubble on the sidewall the tire. I'm furious. I called Continental and they basically said sorry they'll have to go through normal channels to see if it's warranted. Pretty much had a nonchalant attitude. So I asked the guy. What would you do if it was you and all your time and effort and $350 down the drain and because the first guy didn't tell you it should've been warrantied , he said I would just continue to let them replace them on warranty. Pretty much no help. So here I am waiting to find out from the third location of the same place who sold them to me if they will be warrantied. Never buy continental tires ever ever again.
