The Conti's well wear faster. The compound is a summer tire: soft, grippy. You'll get 25-30k miles max out of them. If you race your car, or go hard on it all the time, you'll love them.
I definitely noticed a smoother ride so far and I would argue a bit more traction. I’ve only had them on for a day so I’ll have to see how much range loss I’ll experience and if they perform better or worse when pushed. Plus I believe I have a quality replacement from the OEM that my MYP came with.
I bought a set of Continental Viking Contact 7s and had them mounted on a cheap set of rims from Tire Rack. Samaritan Tire swaps them for me each spring and fall and stores them for me in the off season. It's really easy and it's worth it for my own peace of mind.
Kumho are excellent for the price, I have them on my SUV for winter.
Kumho Ecsta PA51. Have them on my MR2 and my Jetta. Very happy with them.
Conti ecs 02 is the go to rain tire for many people from my understanding and they hold up well on track if it's dry. If you drive them hard they can get a little greasy after 20 minutes on track but Im on my second set and don't have plans to change it up for my third
Exteme contact sports are great especially in the wet.
Continental extreme contacts. They're just amazing on this car
Installed 20" Continental Extreme Contact DWS06+
Improved ride and noise but not handling. More lean left and right.
I had particularly bad luck with Continentals on a couple of cars. Buddy (who had a similar experience) and I came up with a comparison: take one of those nice Staedler erasers and draaaag it on pavement, you won't go 50' before your knuckles get road rash. I'm a big Michelin fan, never had any trouble with those on any of my cars.
