I personally like the Continentals. They are smooth and perfect for the car. I would never change the brand unless I had to. My new Continentals are supposed to have a 60,000 mile warranty.

Besides, my car will never see another drop of rain anyway! It will only come out on nice days (which is 90% of the year in my area). So I don't care if it slips on the road and does donuts in the rain

My advice for those that are slipping.... don't drop the clutch and take it easy off the line. Follow that rule and you won't slip in the rain.
