My Falken winter tires are better in the dry.
Thanks for all the advice guys, went ahead and ordered the Continental ECS 02s, fingers crossed I’m happy with them. My biggest issue with my RS4s is that it takes about 2 runs on my favorite backroad to get enough heat in them to really stick and I don’t push my car on public roads like I used to. If I get the added benefit of making my car more daily-able that’s not a bad thing either.
I used the 615k+ last summer they were great for multi purpose use. I did a few track days (6) and daily drove them all summer. Warm up is almost instant, they do fine in the wet. I'll be purchasing another set when track days pick up again.
Continental or bust.
I typically get the Continental dws 606+ or whatever it's called. They ride and handle as well as the Michelin Pilot Sport all seasons.
The continental ecs02 is in my opinion a better tire than the ps4s having had both on the same car and is cheaper
If you need want all seasons, the Continental extreme contact dws06+ are great in dry and wet conditions. And much quieter than the PS4
I popped one at 32k miles so I swapped for Conti CrossContacts, they’ve been great in snow, rain, and light mud.
Tbh you get what you pay for. Not great. There’s others that make a better all season tire then falk and at the same price. But if you don’t mind a little higher I’d look at something like the cross climates Michelin has or the cooper endura max or the Nokian wr. Nokians are amazing but suffer from issues in really hot weather. I’d get the cooper endura for Ohio. Won’t disappoint you either. Amazing in winter and summer
The service manager of my local tire dealership told me these Continental tires were great tires. Never had continental tires before. The first time there was a bubble on the sidewall of the tire of course they never told me about the warranty or the class action lawsuit over it. So I shelled out $350 to have it replaced. The second time it blew out by the same company who sold them to me but a different location. They told me it should be under warranty and it took a while, but they ended up having no charge But I had to pay the $35 warranty in case it happened again and the tire and balance along with it. Not too long after that tire had the same issue (bubble) luckily I've been through it before and got it replaced for free, but not after a bunch of jacking around and of course, my time my effort and waiting for them to do it and the balancing etc. fees Here I am in July 2024 and another bubble on the sidewall the tire. I'm furious. I called Continental and they basically said sorry they'll have to go through normal channels to see if it's warranted. Pretty much had a nonchalant attitude. So I asked the guy. What would you do if it was you and all your time and effort and $350 down the drain and because the first guy didn't tell you it should've been warrantied , he said I would just continue to let them replace them on warranty. Pretty much no help. So here I am waiting to find out from the third location of the same place who sold them to me if they will be warrantied. Never buy continental tires ever ever again.
