First driving impressions reveal that the ride is indeed much improved, speed humps are no longer intimidating and it rides much smoother and quieter on your typical city street.

Pros: much improved ride
Cons: fighting brake dust
Vehicle: Audi TTS

People said these tires handle like garbage. I was skeptical—and yeah, they’re a bit squishy at first—but honestly, unless you’re trying to turn your grocery run into a Formula 1 race, they’re actually decent. The family has stopped complaining, which is a miracle; these tires actually soften the blow of our awful roads. Range is about the same, but the noise? Night and day. Old Contis were basically a marching band on wheels; now it’s quiet enough to enjoy the ride without wanting earplugs.

Pros: soften the blow, quiet
Cons: bit squishy at first

I’ve used Continental (very good), Hankook (good), Goodyear (good - worse handling in summer than Conti but excellent in winter, higher wear).

Pros: Continental very good
Cons: Goodyear higher wear

I went with the same tire and size with the Model X rims, up from the 19s. I'm seeing about a 9% range loss around town, but I'm also driving it a lot harder now that I have the traction. I do feel like I have a lot more camber in the rear, that I definitely need to take care of. Most surprisingly, I think the ride is so much better than the 19 Cont Rxs. Sound seems ok, but I think I got a bad tire or something because my front drivers side tire makes a lot of noise. I was hoping it would go away, but it seems to have gotten worse.

Pros: better ride, more traction
Cons: range loss, tire noise

My experience with Continental Tire...I loved them. My wife loved them. Right up to the point that the second set tried to do us in. Driving home to the SF Bay Area from So. Cal on a hot summer day. Right rear tire fails suddenly and catastrophically with 2/3rds of the tread separating from the carcass.

Pros: great handling, terrific wear
Cons: tire fails catastrophically
