Go for the Continentals. I’ve done the research for you, and lived it. These tires will take anything perfectly unless you decide to hit your breaks going down hill….gravity was the only thing I found wrong, but what would any other tire do. I’ve had these tires for 4 + years. I swapped them the first 2 years, and ran them straight the last two years, and there’s still .8 tread left from the original . 10. I’m actually trying to wreck these tires so I can buy a new set, but they’re hanging on. My next set will be these tires. I even passed up those famous Finish tire brands nobody can pronounce for these, and glad l did.
I switched to Continentials 2 yrs ago and haven't had a single flat since.
Longest lasting super 200 is the Vitour P1. Affordable, fun sizes, and they LAST a long time while keeping up with the top dogs. Got a set this year and I love them. Put 6,500 miles plus 25 AX runs and they've barely worn.
Vitour Galaxy R1 155R15, $63.89 each
Why a solid rib down the center?
These are vintage VW beetle size, 15 inch rim 4.5 inch wide. FWIW they have good reviews on the seller's website
I switched my run flats with Continental TrueContact Tour54 and the experience is night and day. Such a smooth and quite drive. The whole car genuinely feels much lighter.
CONTINENTAL EXTREMECONTACT DWS
Such a better ride for my R55s, plus it lowered me a few mm
I really enjoy Continental Extreme Contact 02, but it’s really only for summer.
I usually run Michelin X-Ice but I gotta say these VC7's are great.
Maybe I just got lucky. I used to always get Michelin's, but my CC came with Conti (Pro Contact I think), so went for them again, and then picked another Conti that is a little sportier (not DWS06, just PureContact LS), and they have been OK. Steering feel hasn't been as good as with Michelin, but I did not experience any problems.
I just got these tires for my cx50 235/65/17 and I’m experiencing the same thing! City driving 50mph and under is great! High speed when it gets 60-65mph+ is where it feels shaky for me.
