bridgestone vs. continential vs. hancook

Lothario · 01-27-2014, 02:03 PM

whats the best tire for heavy commuting? ive had the car 10 months and put 30k on it. should i stick with stock bridge stones?

i hear people talk about continentals, but apparently they dont honor their warranties.

and the ventus's get mentioned, but from what i understand their cheap.

2013 base w/ sport pkg.

any info or advice?

Michelin PSS is good option.

Lothario · 01-27-2014, 02:07 PM

i keep getting random quotes too. example the stockers installed run from 1200-2k.

continentals without an alignment are a little over 1k, so for 200-250 more i can go stock.

Theres so many threads on this haha -

If you honestly put that many miles on it, I would just get the V12's again.. I saw the most miles out of those so far. And they are a good price.

No need to spend the extra money when it sounds like you wont be using the tires in that manner.

30k in 10 months...holy ****..and I thought I drove a lot haha

30k in 10 months... your car is dead within 2-3 more year... x.X

kenchan · 01-28-2014, 08:44 AM

Why would the car die with less than 100K? I know members on this forum with over +120,000 miles already running just as good as the day they bought it.

Im thinking a properly maintained 370 will make it til' 250.

Either way, sounds like OP needs a ECO car or once the engines toast, drop an electric engine in the Z.

Yeah it did. Get tires from Costco, they will honor the warranty.
Say no to OEM.

Conti DW is cheap, feels pretty decent for a street tire, and lasts a really long time.

Lothario · 01-28-2014, 09:53 AM

i believe the conti's were $1000 installed as well

If all you do is daily, get some cheap tires that will last for a while and call it a day.

fuct · 01-28-2014, 11:48 AM

so4 are close in price to the v12's. the so4s are a better tire.
