Tires Continental or Sailun

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.

Never used Laufenn. But I had good luck with a set Saiilun.

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

I will resurrect this just because my car came with Sailun Atrezzo 480. I bought a 3rd gen Prius 4 years ago with 76K and it now has 142K. The tires have been fine & just getting to the wear bars. I was going to replace them at first but kind of tested them for traction in dry and rain and they seemed to grip good. I was just tire shopping and was going to get Michelins but decided on another set of Sailuns since I have been happy with them and it was $680.00 compared to $250.00. I would not have considered them if they did not come on the car but now that they have proven themselves I am getting another set. Yes you get what you pay for but these have been as good as anything else for a daily driver.

PS4S is the high water mark for Max performance summers for a long time. Competition has caught up. So much so I run the continental ECS02 since it’s a better deal, last longer and has nicer ride.

Get some conti dws. Great tires.

NorCal Chassis Works in Fairfield is an excellent local shop that I have patronized in the past, and happens to be a TireRack recommended installer. I ordered 4 Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02 in 225/40/18 and had them delivered to the shop.

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

The tires are rated at 1 on the tire toughness scale. I forget what it’s called but they are super fragile, garbage tires. They also wear hilariously fast and handle poorly.
