Continental Tires

[WildBillyT]

Never been a big fan. At best the ones I've had were "eh".

Recently I got a good deal on a set of ExtremeContact DW tires (local shop does a lot better than Tire Rack), and they are really nice! Grip is great, noise is excellent. Noticibly better thank the Yokohama avs db2's that were on there. Seems like a different company made 'em.

Wear will come with time of course.

Have them on my SS, got about 30k of spirited driving. Wore evenly, still have about 10k or so left in them. Cant beat them for the price, great tire!

Thanks man... I was wondering how they would hold up long term.

No. Never.

Well, until I get the scratch for the Michelin PS2's that I really wanted, these seem to be good for the price. And it turns out that they are top rated 275/40 on Tire Rack, with 407 reviews.

Havnt had any issues, re-balanced them recently and they didnt want any extra weight, no dry rotting or cracking issues either. I would deffinatly buy them again.

Continental Tires suck. you'll find out soon. bubbles uneven wear and other issues. i have two friends that manage tire shops. cherry hill and hamilton and they both said the same thing. they get the most complaints and returns for warranty damage repairs ie.. bubbles wear and such.

The 10 year old Continentals that used to be on the Camaro never had any bubbles or weird wear issues. They were just hard as rocks and had no traction whatsoever.

The OEM equipped Continental tires that came on my Ranger were a poor quality tire. Uneven/poor wear, terrible wet/snow traction, lasted about 30,000 miles, 95% smooth highway. I have 45,000 miles on a set of mid-range Definity tires from Pep Boys and they are wearing much better and have much better wet traction.

Some of their top performance tires seem to pull down good ratings, but I have experienced more tire warranty issues with Conti/General than any other tire maker combined.

The OEM Continentals on my wife's trailblazer were great tires. Even wear and great handling wet or dry! They lasted 66,000 miles.

They grip well enough to blow the driveshaft out of the car. #holy****

I just ordered a set of Conti Road Attack 2 for my street bike. According to all the reviews they are a great tire! We shall see...

Contis are OEM on some high end stuff like BMW and MB, I believe. Ran them on my dad's old Saab and never had a problem. My friend Amir swears by the Extremecontact DWS as general purpose all seasons.

My buddy says his Beamer's all have had Conti's and he get a ton of mileage out of them.
