Stock Tire Performance?

ChaseZ

My biggest beef with the stock tires when I got mine (asides from the itty bitty size) was the road noise. They weren't stellar performers though I didn't expect them to be. If it's just for normalish cruising then they are fine and will serve you well. Heck I sold mine to a guy who was just going to replace his stockers with them.

You're right to change them to those contis though, whether they are good performers or not they are still a summer rated tire, and those tend to get really hard with cooler weather and you'll slide all over on cold roads, never mind a bit of snow.
