I was running Conti ECS 02s on my just recently traded in 2022 GT RF and they were fantastic. Can’t wait to put those on my 2025 RF Club as soon as I need tires. Huge difference in both wet and dry. Coming from 2 sets on Michelin pilot sports and 2 sets of pilot sport 4s on my old Stage 3 8V Audi S3 and the Conti’s are very very similar to me in what I do as far as aggressive driving.
I’ll put a vote in for conti extreme contact sports, the car feels so good on the 2 sets I’ve been through so far.
Only downside is that they seem to wear somewhat quickly, my last set only lasted me like 12k, but it being my fun car, it pretty much only sees fairly hard use
I switched off of those to a set of Continental Vikingcontact 8 this year. I don't know if it's because my Xice were old or what but I find the contis to be about 50% (subjective, obviously) better than the michelins
This probably would never happen with some continental extreme contact sport 02\u2019s on there
My wife had continental extreme contacts on her civic, they were a little expensive but worth ever penny. I used to take that shit box skiing on powder days, they are good tires!
I also live in the PNW and have Continental DWS06+ and they are incredible in the rain and light snow.
My mini cooper (FWD like your Prius) is a beast in the snow with winter tires. WINTER tires, not just all seasons.
Been using VikingContact 7s and 8s now for a bit and been very happy with them.
had both Vredestein Wintrac and Bridgestone Blizzak, they are fine
I had the Continental CrossContact LX on my Hybrid Ltd. My service center told me at my last service visit that I need a tire change at 22k miles, and I should budget to buy new tires.. They said Front thread is at 2/10, Back tires 5/10.. I rotated them and switch it the back tires to the front for now. These tires came with the car 3/4yrs ago.
