Tires Continental or IRONMAN

I have always been a fan of Continental. I put control contact SRS+ tires on mine via Discount Tire. About 900 for 4 new ones with install and lifetime rotation/balance and replacement certs

Najskuplje nije nuzno najbolje ali za Conti tvrdim da vrijedi svake lipe. Imam auto od skoro 2ipo tone i 20 cola gume. Nenadjebive. Kisa, snijeg, blato... u name it

I have continentals on my e90. They work like a charm on snow.

Love the tires and I have zero use for all season tires in Southern California. However, car is no longer tracked and these were much cheaper than Michelins I used for decades.

Consider replacing the Continental “street tires” with AT tires. Better traction in bad road conditions.

Switched from the stock PZ4 to Conti ExtremeContacts.

Yes, they're all seasons, but it doesn't get cold or snowy enough here to warrant winter tires. But it's already been cold and wet to the point that the summers are too slippery.

I thought they must be crap but after looking into them, they are very well-reviewed. A traction A temp, UHP (ultra-high performance) rated. I like them. You could pay $400/tire for a premium brand but they won't be 4 times better or last 4 times longer.

Continental UC6, best of both worlds (performance and comfort)

I just put the Enduro soft Kryptotal Fr and Re on and totally agree with your impression, they grip well but man are they noticeably slower than other similar tires. In my case Exo+ DHF and DHRs. I honestly don't know that the grip is worth it. I'm definitely not improving my time uphill or downhill.

I installed Continental GP Urban tires today which are very similar to GP 5000 that are very popular. Today on a fast mildly steep paved dry decent when making a slight turn - my rear wheel slipped. Switched to conti GP expecting some good performance and they do roll better but they have far less grip than vittoria zaffiro pro graphene.
