Tires OEM BMW or Continental

Continental ECS is one of the best summer tires on the track. I’ve driven them in multiple cars. They feel amazing.

I have a G87 and ran continental ECFs for the past 7 events and they’ve been pretty good. Last forever, good heat tolerance, ok road manners.

New tires: Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02 - These have a slightly higher score and are cheaper than the Pilot Sport 4S so I thought I'd give them a try.

I've driven all my life on Contis. Can't complain.

I've been running Continental DWS06+ since then and I've never looked back.

I was torn between these and Conti ECF. Went with ECF just because they were on sale at trackdaytire ????

Am mers pe drum forestier acoperit cu gheata ca sticla pe unde nu puteam merge pe jos ca alunecam si cu masina nu am avut treaba, continental all season am.

Continental Extreme Contact tires are fabulous and you can expect about 60k miles as long as your driving style isn’t too crazy.

I've run various versions of the Contis including the EC Sports & DWS 06+. Don't get me wrong, they are fantastic tires, but they do have drawbacks. I don't like how soft the sidewalls are, the tire profile isn't that appealing, tire dressing smears on the sidewalls leaving streaks, and they don't have a treadwear warranty (summer tires). If you are in an area where you are able to run summers year round, there is no reason not to do it other than sacrificing a tiny bit of tread life. Contis also don't seem to balance up as well as some of the other premium brands. I've had more issues with vibrations from Conti tires than I have from some others.

Every time this is question is posted, I have the same answer: Gatorskins suck, by the Conti 4 seasons. Yes gator skins are tough, but they also feel like they're made of soap when cornering in the wet. 4 Seasons are *so* much more supple.
