Tires Continental or Cooper

The summer tire finally wore out and I’m running the Coopers till they are done. They’ve been a good tire for the price.

I just replaced the tires on my 21 Outback with Cooper ProControl. Same tire size as you. I have young kids as well and do family duty for vacations school etc.

So far so good. I previously had the stock Yokohamas and they weren’t very good. Barely got 50k out of them.

I run Continental Extreme Contact DWS tires. 50k tire. No complaints.

I did have Continental ExtremeContact DSW06's on my ST and they were really good.

They felt so sketchy I went out and dropped 800 on continentals and I can barely make them break traction and can corner way harder. Feel more planted and safe.

My wife purchased a used Acura Integra. When I drove it just didn't handle as precise as I expected. We replaced them with.... Continental. All of a sudden the handling was much better and safer.

You could save some money and have better handling by choosing something that's not run flat. I use Continental Extreme Contact tires (\~$947 installed with no alignment at Les Schwab, and yes I could have gotten them cheaper elsewhere but LS gives out credit like it's free candy) and I love them so far...

Conti's DH tires are just the best. Its almost concerning how much grip I have compared to similar maxxis tires.

I was a loyal GP4000/5000 rider but had to switch a few years back. I think they changed something and it not only became harder to mount them, but it was impossible to break the bead and remove them. I switched to Vittorias but really miss the feel of the GPs. I feel much more confident descending on them.

I was desperate to find something to replace my GP5000's after they got their 6th puncture in the space of 4 months of riding. Threw them in the trash.
