Tires Continental or NANKANG

New tires are Continental CrossContact LX25 - researched with my very loyal and reliable mechanic. Fingers crossed these wear better.

I’m using this as my daily and it sees no track time, so I like to keep it fun, while also not making my wallet cry. DCC: 2 right from comfort Drivetrain: Eco Engine sound: Sport ACC: Eco Steering: Sport

Continental contact urban in 2” or 2.2” Feels as fast as my race king black chili for half the price

Continental double fighters have been doing me good for nearly a year! Like 1.9 inch tires and have a good amount of grip but roll nice too

Continental race kings. The black chili blend is faster. 1.9 and 2.2 inch options. Fantastic tires

Continental contact speed is a cool looking cheap option.

I just had a hard time finding 205/50/15 for my 1997 gti vr6. I ended up buying Nankang NS2 tires.

Replaced them with a set of Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02s and I’ve been happy so far.

I have had the best luck w/ Michelin Pilot Sports or Super sports. I have had several sets of the Continental Sport Contacts on different cars including the Golf R and they seem to wear out early with noise and balance problems sooner than I would expect. I have never had a set last more than 20K miles before the tread was gone and/or they start having noise/balance issues. They are GREAT tires up until that point, but they don't last anywhere near their published treadlife rating.

Switched from Continental Der Baron 2.6" to Dhf/Dhr (3c maxxterra) 2.8" combo. DHR has less grip on uphill and roots, which is really annoying after expecting something great, because everyone loves these tyres...
