I'm out of Chicagoland (close enough to you) and I rock Continental control contact tires. Best thing in the world for all seasons in the snow. Great in our stupid rain too. You really feel nice and planted in them.
I may go with Continental once I need new tires.
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.
Example, I switched to Kumoho from GSC's on 93 Trans AM. Yes I gave up traction but I gained smoother ride, better wet road handling, and about 12000 more miles a set. which basically doubled what I was getting out of GSC's. No question a better tire. Kumoho was still not big yet but what they did make was really good.
From that list I would get the Continental Conti Ultra Contact because it's the quietest tire there with A tier wet performance.
I just got my M3 and bought a set of previous gen 18 inch rims, put continental viking contact 8's on them, so far good here in buffalo.
Honda accord does fine with some all weather tires. I use continental contipro contact. Never had an issue
Continental is pretty much smack bang in middle. not really better at anything, not really worse on anything.
I’m using the Continental 5000 TR S 32mm running tubeless.
Everytime I ride I get a puncture! It’s crazy and not sure why. I used one of the tire calculators and it has me at 68psi front, 70 rear.
Rode with a buddy couple weeks back who has the same tires and he got a puncture so bad on the rear it wouldn’t seal, we had to put a plug it.
I might try lowering the pressure and see what happens. Tires are new…
