Re: Which is the better tire? Michelin or the Continental
People usually mention specific models when referring to other brands of tire, but when referencing Continentals all they say is "the stock Contis". Well, which specific Conti tire are you all referring to, because I've seen more than one on the Crossfire.
I've seen Crossfires with "stock Contis" that were the TouringContact All-Season Touring tire, and I've seen mine (duh) that came to me new shod with ContiSportContact 2 Max Performance Summer tire. Huge difference there. I managed to run down a pair of full race prepped Spec Miatas running R-Compound tires on a road course, and out braked a Porsche 911 from 125mph at the same track day event. They're actually pretty quiet too. I doubt I would have identical results with the AS Contis.
