Tire shopping

I've run square Continental Extreme Contact Sports for a while and really like the tire. I kinda wish the sidewall was a tad firmer, but the grip is phenomenal for a max performance tire. I've run them on Sebring a few times and held up well to the abuse. It was communicative and easy to catch. It's by no means an an extreme performance tire, but they're pretty good. Also wet weather traction is outstanding. I can stand on the brakes or make emergency cuts to the wheel and it still finds grip.

I’m running the Continental tires shown and they are great for the street. When I’m on the track I’m running Pirelli slicks.

Have Cooper Zeon RS3-S for the front and Federal SS-595 rears waiting on new wheels. Both VERY highly rated and were a steal on ebay. $218 shipped for the Federal Pair 255/40/19 and $359 shipped for the Coopers 325/30/19.

Can't be any louder than the Continental's that are on there now.
