I had a set of nitto's on my mk3 gti vr6.they were a great tire.
neogens are great i had a set on my is300 handle very good,softer sidewall compared to your bridgestones but noise extremely low,because of the softer sidewall handling might suffer a tad ,you might not notice it though.tire wear is awesome if you are lowered.inner treadpattern is designed for lowered cars to reduce wear.
I was running Nitto NT01 245/45R17 on flik FTD 17x8 et35. the original setup on the kw v3's left me with a rub on both fronts so I had to raise it up a half inch. Otherwise, I was very pleased with the tires/set-up.
O.K I did it. Got the Contintal Cross Contact UHP 285/50/18 put on this afternoon. Driving home they seemed to be very quiet and smooth running.
I like them a lot, actually. As you've undoubtedly found out, they're one of the few reasonably priced tires that are also rated for our EVs (and by a good margin, too). I've been running ours since August of last year, and even though the EV is our 3rd vehicle I have had ocaision to run it @ ~75-80mph for extended periods of time out to Tucson and back on the interstate, through slush and standing water during the winter storms we've had this year, and everything in between (we don't get snow around these parts) and it's really been a smooth, quiet tire. I have Koni reds on our van, so it handles OK, but, I think the strength of this tire is its volume (read comfort) and long-wearing tread.
I was told to run right around 40psi in my Continental ExtremeContact tires. I was running about 38 in my Michelins with no adverse effects.
The Continental ContiExtreme Contacts are awesome. In my opinion, they are the best kept secret out there for someone who wants a high-performance all-season tire.
I'll second the continentals. I have them on my car for 2000 miles now and I think they are a great tire, good traction in all conditions. I had 205/50's on my car before and to me, they look too small in the wheel well. Just my opinion.
I got 205/55/15 Continental ContiExtreme Contact from Tire Rack. I think they were $68/tire. Best all-season performance tire for the price. Great dry,wet, and snow traction.
I certainly hope they've improved them since '99, because mine were definitely Craptinentals. It was like driving on roller skates.
