Tires Continental or Kumho

CONTINENTAL EXTREMECONTACT DWS

Such a better ride for my R55s, plus it lowered me a few mm

I really enjoy Continental Extreme Contact 02, but it’s really only for summer.

I usually run Michelin X-Ice but I gotta say these VC7's are great.

I've never had a more tenderfoot set of rubber on any car and was really glad to have worn them out. Replaced with Kumho tires which ride like a noticeable harder compound/tire and have had no punctures since.

Continental.

Loving the continental… so quiet!

Kumho tires are a decent brand.

I would agree with another poster that they are a good mid-tier brand. In that range of tires, you generally pay less and get very good performance.

What I’ve found is the mid tier brands usually give something up to the top tier brands like Michelin. For example, if you get a performance tire, the Kumho might have dry grip that is as good or better than the Michelin, but maybe the tire doesn’t last as long or isn’t quite as good in the rain.

The differences tend to be small, though. And the price premium you pay for top tier brands is usually a larger percentage than the difference in performance.

My bro who works at dealer said Continentals are good for daily road driving and much less than Michelin.

Fuck the Maxxis Taxxes. I'm still waiting on a pair of Continental Kryptotal F's for $42 each from Jenson.

That said continental trail/endurance casing is shit and probably worst tires I’ve ever had on wet roots/rocks.
