Tires Continental or Barum

Some of the best tires I ever ran were a set or Conti Sport Attack's

I got 32k miles out of my OEM Continentals - I could have pushed them for another 5K miles (I’m in the desert so no snow and limited rain). That’s good enough for me, so I got another set about a week ago.

I’m getting the same continentals again. They’re whisper quiet.

I have carbon wheels and ride very rocky trails 6-8 hours/week. I use Kryptotal Fr and Kryptotal Re, both in enduro soft, and I don't use inserts. They are great tires. Excellent grip, fast rolling.

It may not be universal, but I can tell you from my experience, Continentals and damn good tires.

I went with the Continentals. Been on them for almost a year now. Feel great with good grip for spirited driving in the mountains.

OEM Continental Cross contact lasted about 40k miles.

I’ll third the Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02s. Every bit of what you’d expect from a flagship summer performance tire. Dry grip is phenomenal, with excellent wet weather performance. Steering feel has been very complementary to the quick rack on the Giulia. Noise level is very good, considering the overall package - much improved over the original ECS I had on my SS. I don’t think you can go wrong with either these or the PS4S.

I found a wood screw neatly inserted into the sidewall so it couldn't be patched. $400 for a new Continental.

I would not buy Conti Pure contact LS again, they long lasting, grip and performance looks good but they are too harsh for me ( 225/50/17 has 98V load index)
