Tires Continental or IRONMAN

I would recommend a different front if that's your goal - maybe the Vittoria Barzo or the Continental Cross-King. They're both handling-oriented tires rather than pure speed, but don't really give up a lot on the speed front... like the Rekon does.

Conti tires are great on cars. I always get their all-season Continental Extreme Contact DWS06+ for my suv's because they are rated like a 10 on rain and even an 8 in the snow, which is amazing for an all season that's not dedicated to snow. Plus they have a 70k mile warranty.

Some of the best tires I ever ran were a set or Conti Sport Attack's

I got 32k miles out of my OEM Continentals - I could have pushed them for another 5K miles (I’m in the desert so no snow and limited rain). That’s good enough for me, so I got another set about a week ago.

I’m getting the same continentals again. They’re whisper quiet.

I have carbon wheels and ride very rocky trails 6-8 hours/week. I use Kryptotal Fr and Kryptotal Re, both in enduro soft, and I don't use inserts. They are great tires. Excellent grip, fast rolling.

It may not be universal, but I can tell you from my experience, Continentals and damn good tires.

I went with the Continentals. Been on them for almost a year now. Feel great with good grip for spirited driving in the mountains.

I run continental extremecontact dws 06+ on my golf. They’re the quietest tire I’ve found for the golf. The tires are ok. Not sport tires but have decent grip. Sidewall is a little soft.

I am still not impressed with these tires. I'm just about to hit 14k miles on these tires and they are some of the worst tires I've had. Definitely going to replace them before winter. We average 6-8 inches of snow every winter and these tires are like race slicks in the snow.
