I damaged one tire at 3500 miles so this forced my summer tire plans. A local chain had the Continental extreme contact in stock and had em mounted up the next day
A early review of my Continental Extreme contact 2 swap. WOW, great tires so far, installed on Friday. Finally hit a familiar downhill increasing radius on-ramp I’ve used for 40 years. The original Goodyear scrubbed at the limit and really didn’t lean. The Continental gripped hard enough to get scary… leaned over and finally squealed with no deflection. Rides good and would need a decibel meter to compare the noise. One downside is like my old OEM Eagle RSA-2 the tread width is one size wider on the Eagle sport
11” like most 315 tire’s Continental is 10.6 , the 315 is 11” but taller just got a good picture and noticed that. I had previously double checked the tire specs before jumping but I was in a pickle of 3 cars and only one working
These cars really need the summer tire option the Extreme contact 2 rated #1 on tire rack. Damaging a new tire sucks now I’ve got three spares for sale also holy mother of god the brake dust!!! 3700 miles
