Tires Toyo or Continental

Yeh the UC6 is amazing. My car came with ceat securadrive. It got a sidewall bubble at 22k. Changed to UC6 and the change was mind-blowing. Just yesterday I was driving in the rain at 60-70 not breaking a sweat. Also got turtle wax clearvue rain coating. Can't recommend these enough. Tried to get conti for WagonR and Ignis as well but weren't in stock at my preferred shop, so went with Bridgestone sturdo, they're also good for the price.

The Brezza came with Apollo Alnac 4G tires from the factory. Apollo's were a good set of tires; they had decent grip, road noise wasn't bad, and even at 49,000 kilometers, they had about 5,000 kilometers left. Anyway, I decided to change them since I could see hairline cracks appearing, plus monsoon season here in Kerala means it's better to have a good pair of tires.

Long story short, after extensive research, I got Continental UC6 215/60-16 tires. I paid a total of 34,800 rupees, including four tires, balancing, alignment, and valves. The tires were 8,150 rupees each. I didn't feel a lot of difference in the first 150 kilometers, but after that, I noticed some major differences compared to the Apollos.

* Road trip: These tires stick to the road like leeches. Wet grip is unbelievably good. You can take a turn at 90 kmph on wet highways, and the car won't break a sweat. I never had that kind of confidence before.

* Braking: Stopping power has improved significantly. Both wet and dry grip are excellent.

* Ride quality: Improved by leaps and bounds. Small imperfections on the road are dismissed. Expansion joints on the highways are hardly felt in the cabin.

* Road noise : These tires are silent. At 120 kmph, all you hear is wind and engine noise. 0 noise from the tires. Apollo's use to get loud post 90kmph.

If you are looking for a tire change, i highly recommend Continentals. You would hardly pay 10-15% more then Indian tires but the benefits are significant .

I’ve found Toyo holds up the best…..with the exception of the Toyo m/t I don’t know what kind of fairy dust they put in those but they are the longest lasting m/t I’ve ever seen on heavy trucks….my dad has a set on his 250 and pulls a camper and 14k pound trailer/tractor and this set is at 60k with about 10-15k left in them

On my 3rd set of Toyo A/Ts between 2 different rigs. Long tread life, 40k min. Quiet comfortable ride. Works well in all conditions, sand/mud/rocks. I won't run anything else.

I have Toyo r/t trails and they’ve been awesome so far

Running 315/345 Vitours on my C7Z. Been really happy with them so far...the 315/345 Conti Forces treated me really well for almost 3 full autocross seasons.

I am happy with my Continental Control Contact Sport SRS+ for $162 each. I only see dry weather so I can't commit to the rain or snow preference.

I have 21k miles on them and they are wearing well.

I would get the Continental ECF if I was just doing track days and not competing for lap times. Sounds like they wear like iron and are very consistent. And they have symmetric tread, so you can “flip” them to equalize shoulder wear.

23k on my 11gen ST hatch, 2 shops have also recommended me new tires. With that being said it makes me feel better seeing other people explaining that they have gotten around the same mileage on their continental procontacs.

However I think the biggest factor is these Toyo tires simply are not good tires. They are noisey. I am getting WAY to much noise on highway. Over 36 they are to stiff and noisey, they actually "howl" and even at 35 these Toyo just seem iffy.
