Tires Continental or ADVAN

Continental > Kumho > Road Hugger > Sentury

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.

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.

Go for the Continentals.  I’ve done the research for you, and lived it.  These tires will take anything perfectly unless you decide to hit your breaks going down hill….gravity was the only thing I found wrong, but what would any other tire do.  I’ve had these tires for 4 + years.  I swapped them the first 2 years, and ran them straight the last two years, and there’s still .8 tread left from the original . 10.  I’m actually trying to wreck these tires so I can buy a new set, but they’re hanging on.  My next set will be these tires.  I even passed up those famous Finish tire brands nobody can pronounce for these, and glad l did.

I use Gatorskin clincher on my commuter bike. They are very durable, with little wear marks after 2 years of use. But they aren’t light and fast like GP5000s. If you are a roadie, then I wouldn’t recommend Gatorskins for sport rides.

Replaced mine at 19k. I live in Oregon and want good tread and channels on the rainy roads. Dealership offered to sell me the same tire. I laughed and got Continentals elsewhere. Much better.
