Tires Continental or Firestone

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.

The current DH Conti line is the best tire out there right now. But holy crap, is it hard to get on rims.

As a Maxxis rider who hasn't tried Michy but has tried Conti... Conti are the best tires I've ever run so far. And I liked the Maxxis overall. It's hard to imagine a tire better than these Contis.

My car had tires from 2015, so I swapped all the tires for a set of new Conti ECS. 02s which has been great.

I have the ProContact RXs on my MS LR. They were excellent in dry, wet and snow . I've read htat they get worse in really cold weather, but they were fine up to around -5-10 degrees celsius and 10-15cm snow atop Donner Pass in Tahoe. Did not need chains.

I run the DSW06 Plus year around even on my race car. They're much better than the ProContact but they will not last as long. They also are a bit louder but pretty dang grippy even in severe weather.

I got continetals and they have been great so far.

If you have the Firestone tires, everyone that I know that had them all got under 25k on them.

Some people like them, I really hate them. I find them slow, hard and not grippy, not puncture resistant at all, heavy. My back wheel would just slide around on its own when it was wet out.
