Tires Continental or SUMITOMO
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 ????
Am mers pe drum forestier acoperit cu gheata ca sticla pe unde nu puteam merge pe jos ca alunecam si cu masina nu am avut treaba, continental all season am.
Continental Extreme Contact tires are fabulous and you can expect about 60k miles as long as your driving style isn’t too crazy.
I’ve been buying Conti DWS06, and they’re treadwear rated in the 600s, IIRC. Good all weather traction and they last a while. My Audi A4 Quattro used to eat through tires in short order. At least with these I got 30k-40k miles.
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!
just FYI I tried the Conti DWS on my 2009 335i and couldn't keep them on the car. every time I hit a pothole the sidewall would crack and the worst part was despite the fact that I knew how it happened every time each road hazard claim was denied due to "improper installation".
