Tires Continental or Shinko

I installed 235f and 255r for a wider look. Continental extreme contact dsw. SL sidewall load range so not as solid as XL. I had to put more air in \~38lbs because they were mushy in curves but now seem fine. I trust them more in the rain than I would high performance tires.

Check out continental extremecontact sport. It was continentals competitor to the pilot super sport. Cheaper than ps4 and quite good!

I went with Conti purecontact LS in 225/50. Fits the rim great. Conti specifies 6-8" width and this rim is 7". I know wider isn't considered better for winter but it's a great tire and will do much better than what comes oem in the cold and snow. Still a narrower contact patch than what comes on the SEL. Same revolutions per mile as the stock 205/55. These are all season as opposed to all whether but get better snow and ice reviews than many all weathers.

I've had Continental DWS06 235/40/18 225/45/18 tires on my 2011 Speed and I loved them. The 235/40 had more grip but the 225/45 ride better. Simply put, the DWS06 tires are the best tires I've ever owned.

the mechanic that put on my new Continentals reckons I'll get 20,000ks out of them.

I sure wish Continental ExtremeContact DWS were available. I've had them on a few ICE BMWs and they're awesome tires and work great with BMW suspension.

The Continental ExtremeContact DWS I have on the car now, are pretty much worn out after about about 45,000 miles.
