Got a bubble in one, plug in another and they are too worn to replace just 2 :(


Had these:

Continental Contiprocontact
235/45/17
LINKY (http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Continental&tireModel=ContiProContact)


Bought these

Continental ContiExtremeContact
LINKY (http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Continental&tireModel=ContiExtremeContact)


Apparently they scored best in class for wet and snow and came in the top of the pack for dry and cornering.

Overall they took 4th place.... but cost $50-$100 less than the competition :)

Here's a good review if you are looking for a good set of all seasons

Enjoy!!

golfa has those on his STi. pretty darn good in teh snow. I drove it a few time and didn't notice much of a difference between my snows and his tires. Mine do bite better, but those did awesome when i was trying them out.

I used to switch between summers (RE070's) and Winters (blizzaks)

Then I bought the Audi and the tires on it are the contiprocontact and they handled so well in the wet/snow I never bothered getting snows.

The new tires I ordered handle even better in the snow. :)

Nice, those are good from what I hear. But, I take reviews for what they are, which are peoples personal opinions. I get what I think would be best for me and then I have the real review! Never know, could be some of the better tires you have had!

i can't imagine what my suby would be like with snow tires.

i've been very happy with the stockers up until we had that sleet.

then again, i doubt any tires perform well in sleet.
