Tires Continental or NANKANG

I put continental cross contact tours on my cheap hyundai accent and it made it so much quieter.

I have them on my Alfa Giulia and I live in LA so for me they do wonders. I can speed down the freeway in the little rain we get with absolutely no issues. And off road/ cold weather grip is still really really good.

Nankang FT-9 tires have been awesome for me. I basically rally my little van out in the woods so I can attest to their durability.

They also handle pretty well on road.

And they are LT rated!

All season Continental Contact 2 XL am, si pana acum nu am simtit vreo problema cu ele. In curbe luate cu viteza am simtit ca am alunecat putin, dar nu ceva ce nu pot sa controlez. Am incercat si o alunecare controlata, intr-o parcare libera si nu am alunecat deloc pe zapada, chiar m-a uimit cat de stabila era masina\n\nChiar conteaza sa fie premium anvelopele, chiar daca ai all season

Am continental all season contact 2 de anul acesta, sunt mai bune de cat firestone de iarna ce le aveam (acelea erau \u0219i de 5 ani deja)\nA alunecat ma\u0219ina c\u00e2nd era z\u0103pad\u0103 \u0219i ghea\u021b\u0103 \u00eent\u0103rit\u0103 pe drum, dar nu cred ca alte cauciucuri nu alunecau.

Continental Grand Prix Urban. 35mm, a whopping 1.3 watts slower than a 35mm GP5000, and way cheaper. Ive used them commuting/bikepacking with no problems.

I've never used the Contisport Contact SSR, but am very happy with the ExtremeContact 02. They've been great wet and dry.

Went with the DWS 6+ but they are noisy. Very grippy here in Vancouver though. I have doubts about them in the snow though.

I tried the Nankang CR-S V2 to see if it’s any good. On the road, noise levels are good for this kind of tire, nothing to complain about. Also, driving normally, it handles rain without having issues. That being said, I don’t know if I can say that they handled my last trackday particularly well.

Once they are up to temp and I figured out the correct pressures, the balance was very neutral and it had immense amounts of grip. My laptimes were fast and consistent. So far, so good.

The day came to an early end though, due to a puncture on the front left tire. I am not sure what was the cause of this, but this is the only tire I ever had where it happened. Maybe it’s just really bad luck, but again, I’ve never had that happen with any other tire I used. Don’t mind the wear on the picture, the tire wore down badly because I did an entire (slow) lap on the flat tire when it happened, all the other tires showed no issues in terms of that.

Oh, and the Continentals you drive off the lot are dogshit, the tread pattern is just not great. Absolutely *not* an all-season tire.
