Tires Continental or DUNLOP

The SP5000s were the tires I had on my MkII when I sold it. They were +2 and the best tire that I ran on that car in 13 years.

had fm901 before, comparing to what i have now, i will have to say, Potenza G009 is a better tire.

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.

Precisely the reason why I looked for the Conti's on my quiet, silky smooth ride new car. Until I ride in someone's car with better ones, I'm happy.

my new car, the white love wagon II , came with the conti's but I haven't even begun to break them in, or the engine for that matter with less that 200 mi on the car......but in my first impression the conti's seem quieter that the mxv4 pluses......

Another case of 'ignorance is bliss' perhaps, but I'm favorably impressed with my Conti's (8600 miles since new on 9/11) for quietness, ride, and traction (wet/snow).

When the tires are new, or in the first half of their wear, they are almost identical in their performance--both quiet, good wet/dry weather performance and decent in the snow. *But* when I had my bimmer, the Conti's got seemingly harder and louder on the second half of their wear---which is normal for almost any tire with not much tread left.

I certainly hope they've improved them since '99, because mine were definitely Craptinentals. It was like driving on roller skates.
