Tires Falken or Continental

I recently had a great experience with the Falken RT615K+ going from HPDE 2 to Time Trials. I had 275/35R18's square on my 350z and they lasted me about 11 track days including driving to and from the track a few times. I don't have any personal experience with other 200tw tires but I was satisfied with mine.

I like Falken a lot. Mine didn’t come with Falken but got some Wildpeaks installed after getting our first flat. Got all 4 wheels replaced a little over a year ago and have had zero issues.

got 78,000 on oem Continentals. Tire vendor thought I could still push for another 10,000 miles… In South Florida on mostly smooth roads.

I run Conti ECS, they are a performance street tire. It's what BMW M cars come with.

I’m a Continental Michelin tire guy. I have the extreme contacts on my ZL1 camaro and they handle great for the buck.

These tires are way quieter, stiffer on turns and gives me slightly better range (was at 340kwh now at 300kwh)

Wear and tear on the track is tires and brake pads. My OEM Conti tires lasted 3 track days and 4650 miles, instead of the 10k miles they are rated for. Learn how to inspect your pads visually so you can see how much material is left.

I just did exactly what you're doing -- exact same tires -- and found the Continental every bit as good as the Michelin, so I went with Continental, only in 255s in my case. Anyway, I'm really happy with my Continentals and glad I made that choice. Considering the stiffer ride that comes with wider tires the 18 Continentals proved a good choice. The handling is way better; love it.

Not too sure if the continental are especially weak on the sidewalls, but I blistered 2 tires in a single summer + a leak on a third one. I'm a "careful" driver when it comes to preserving the integrity of my car lol. Montreal, Canada, is known for its ****ty road quality... So yeah, these tires are super easy to damage!

I had falkens for about 18 months and hated them in the snow. The Falkens did better the more snow they had to grip onto, but when we would get less than an inch it was like driving on slicks.
