Tires Pirelli or Continental

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

Just swapped my OEM Bridgestones on my 21MY for Pirelli scorpions. Seems to be a quieter and smoother tire. I think I could have gotten maybe another 5k out of them. Haven’t been far but truly like them.

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.

I was torn between these two myself but went with the dw06 because of all the reviews saying that the pilot sports wear out fast. The dw06 is quiet and great in the rain so I think I made the right choice.

I’m only 2200 miles in on the Pirelli Scorpions but I really do love these tires. They seem super soft and grippy so, that makes me think that they will wear quicker.

The 2021's come with the Pirelli Scorpion Verde all season, not too bad as they work well enough in snow, washed out gravel roads and rain but they squeal a lot in turns would like a bit more traction.

I had a set of Conti DWS tires that always vibrated -- at least 2 of them. I ended up replacing them all within 5K miles because two of the tires were shredded in a Home Depot parking lot -- they left a bunch of sharp metal on the ground in the back of their lot and, classic my luck, I found it. They ended up paying for new tires under their insurance but because it was a Subaru, I argued I needed to replace all 4 tires. Anyway, the new tires... no vibration anymore. It's one of the best unfortunate accidents I had, haha.
