Cooper Zeon ZPT 195/50/15 on nissan steelies. Cooper makes some tough tires, Ride Grip & wear are very good. Waiting to redo my suspension and then hit some twisties that go up and down hill and see how they hold up

Continental Extreme Contact DWS

Today I ordered a set of Continental Extreme Contact DWS (Ultra High Performance Grand Touring All Season) tires. I ordered them in 215/45/17, and the reviews on this tire were phenomenal, so I figured I just had to try them.

I was juggling between some more Bridgestones (BS) or Michelins (MCH) with emphasis on the latter, but the price is what influenced my final decision. The Conti's had the same user rating (actually with about 40%more users/reviewers) as the MCH and BS. I was able to save about $175.00.

They'll be put on this week and put to the test. Perfecting timing too as we are in the middle of winter, and I get to see how they do in snow. I think they'll do well as 90% of the reviews said they handle like snow tires almost. Stay tuned for follow up.

EDIT: I'm a little pissed because I went back and read some of the bad reviews on this tire, and they were really bad. Luckily, TR gives the 60 day satisfaction guarantee. If they don't perform well, I'll try to exchange them for some Michelins of Bridgestones and pay the difference. I'll give them a fair chance. Stay posted.

205/65/r15 (forgot the name though). no rubbing at all.

theyve lasted a long time now. still got a lot of deep thread. & grips well for being so tall. even on mountain roads. not so quiet on the highway though

Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Position:

Everything thing I stated in the previous post still stands. About 7 posts back. This is after a few months on them. No road noise, excellent grip in all weather, gives driver additional confidence, they can take a pot hole without bubbling (hit one or two medium ones and tires are holding up great), not sure about wear life yet, but I have done a few major burn outs, and fronts still look very good.

Overall: 9/10.

Falken Ziex 512 size is just about perfect 215-45-r17. just the tire noise is annoying. ive had 2 sets of em.

Pirelli P4 Four Seasons. 205/60/15 I hate the size, love the tire though. $$$

I run the Pirelli P6000 , 225-45-17 on mine . love the Grip .

Not Cheap Yo.

..., so they went on Mye-Coupe today. ...and the consensus is....


Phenomenal. No road noise, super gripy under heavy braking, stability while aggressive cornering is excellent, and ride quality is very pleasant.

Although they have only been on for a day, I can't confirm if these qualities will always be present. I'll follow up in a month or two.

Additionally, I'm on a blown, and I mean blown, stock suspension set-up. These tires made a huge difference, seriously. The old Bridgestones were ran down and look like slicks (not exaggerating).

nice man

...and they've arrived. Rather quickly too. I may have accidentally overnighted them. Oh well... Too late to change anything.

Just ordered a set of Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS in 195-60-15. I ordered them to mount onto my stock 6 star boys. I'll do a review in about a month after I get them mounted. I' going 5-lug soon, so I guess they'll be up for sale in a few months. If I do like these tires, I'll get a set for my 17" 5x114.3 wheels. We'll see.

My friend has a set of those on his TSX and loves them. They're quite pricey but they're a great all season tire. Tire Rack seems to love them as well.

in the past i've have Falken Ziex 205/50/15 --> 7/10
all around good all season tire, decent tread life

currently i have Falken Azenis 615s 205/50/15 --> 9/10
really good grip, great tire, only downside is short tread life
