I’ve been running SRS+ for the last 3 months. Ride and handling are excellent. I prefer them to the Pirellli P Zero All Seasons that came on my Genesis.
Extreme contact Force are awesome 200tw. Just be easy if it’s cold/rain and especially more once the tread starts going away if you track it hard. They last a long time and are priced well.
Continental ECS is one of the best summer tires on the track. I’ve driven them in multiple cars. They feel amazing.
I have a G87 and ran continental ECFs for the past 7 events and they’ve been pretty good. Last forever, good heat tolerance, ok road manners.
New tires: Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02 - These have a slightly higher score and are cheaper than the Pilot Sport 4S so I thought I'd give them a try.
I've driven all my life on Contis. Can't complain.
I've been running Continental DWS06+ since then and I've never looked back.
I was torn between these and Conti ECF. Went with ECF just because they were on sale at trackdaytire ????
I currently have the Continental Sport Contact 5 SSR tires. They were what CarMax put on when I bought it. I don’t care for the run flat technology as my insurance covers towing as well as I have a plug kit and portable compressor in my car if it’s not bad enough for those to handle it. I was looking at the Kumho LX Platinum KU27 but really don’t know much about the specifics of tires. Looking for advice on my current choice and/or recommendation. Thanks!
Specialized control tyres and it’s not even close.
No it’s not worth the “premium” as they’re not more premium. The spesh tyres are specced on their £14000 bikes, they are also racing and winning world cups, cape epics, short track races, marathons for years with the rest of them. Spesh has led the way with a couple others with FEA and camps set up for surely testing their tyres with a refresh every few years. There is no “premium”. The stickers are fancier on the maxxis. But they’re heavier. Higher rolling resistance. Higher weight. No noticeable gain in traction to account for those either. Spesh offers sworks 120 tpi, softer and harder (T7 and T5 respectively) control tyres. All you’re choosing is 120 vs 60 tpi determining a less or more robust carcass.
A life long sworks 120 tpi snob. I went maxxis aspen and hated life. That’s a gravel tyre. Tore through the Vittoria barzo. Went ikon and they’re a great once was a race tyre now a recreational tyre— but been left for dead with rolling resistance, grip and weight by the competition. Rekon race won’t get a look in from the tyre tests and price and weight. Nah ta.
