Tires NITTO or Continental
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
Yeah driver mod, I try to never drive my car in the rain. I was perfectly fine on Nitto NT55G2.
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!
Nitto Motivo 365 are a fair bit less than the CC2 and are an excellent all weather tire. I've had them on my Forester for a year now. On the Legacy, I used to swap between dedicated summer and winter tires, but the Nittos have been excellent, and I don't feel like I'm missing anything by not having snow tires.
I also live in the PNW and have Continental DWS06+ and they are incredible in the rain and light snow.
Been using VikingContact 7s and 8s now for a bit and been very happy with them.
I run 315/30/18 ECF on my C5 base. I’m about 30 cycles in and they’re starting to die. They’re a good tire that gets up to temp pretty quick and last the whole session. That being said, they aren’t worlds grippier than the 275 conti ecs i replaced.
I have lx25s for my equinox and the tread life is awful on them. They have less than 20k miles on them and we’re past 70% tread on them.
