New Tire Time

dalouie2 · 04-02-2021, 08:09 PM

so. after some reviewing, I been on tire rack site looking for my next tires. I have re11's on the 2011 nizmo . I drive street only. spirited driver. but also just. a cruiser as well. and am now leaning toward stock tire sizes continental extreme contact sports . this seems the best choice for my driving and getting some tread life. etc....... anyone running these. ? thx d

I am, they have been great. It sounds like we use our cars about the same.
They are pretty quiet on the hwy as well. I’d recommend them.

Not a bad tire, though most on the forum run Michelin Pilot Sport 4S, whether stock size or upsized.

It will depend on driving habits and overall use. I had the Continental extreme contact sport tires and got 20K out of them. They don’t make a lot of noise compared to some tires. They have good dry and wet traction is one thing I noticed. For my street tires I was not very happy with the overall tread wear though. I’m thinking of trying the Yokohama Advan Sport
A/S+ tires next for street tires.

Look into the Firestone Firehawk Indy 500. It'll be my next tires. IMO best balance of performance and value.

I agree... best bang for the buck!

with geokots and Zingston.
I've had the Firestone Firehawk Indy 500s for 3 yrs (03/2018) & 24k+ mi.
I'll probably need to replace the rears next year. Love them and difficult price to beat.
