The rears are good for another season, but the fronts are down to the wear bars. I don't drive the car in the winter. What do you think about Conti's. I'm told that I can replace the fronts with Michellin Aero Pilot Super Sport.
Any advice?
Hi, I have to be honnest at first by saying that I am working for Conti and used other brand before. I had Conti ContiSportContact OE on my Crossfire prior to start working for them and only had good words for the product.
I am now using ContiSportContact 5P and will soon have a set of Conti DW.
Here is my advise:
- IF YOUR PRIORITY IS BUDGET: You can look for General Tire G-Max, they are making the OE size, offer the Tire Replacement Monitor, the Visual Alignement Indicator, new compound and all season Ultra High Performance with a decent tread wear. Since GT is own by Conti, you have German ingeneering in the product.
- IF YOUR PRIORITY IS PERFORMANCE/VALUE UHP SUMMER: Then the Conti DW is the best product for your car. It offers the best grip in wet/dry condition with Visual Indicator to monitor your tread wear and adapt your driving. Offer good millage with the DTD technology that reduce tire heat to improve milage without sacrifiing performance & security.
- IF YOUR PRIORITY IS PERFORMANCE/VALUE UHP ALL SEASON: Then the Conti DWS is the best product for your car. It offers the best grip in wet/dry/snow condition with Visual Indicator to monitor your tread wear and adapt your driving. Offer probably the best in this UHP category for millage with the DTD technology that reduce tire heat to improve milage without sacrifiing performance & security.
- IF YOUR PRIORITY IS TOP PERFORMANCE SUMMER: Then the ContiSportContact family is what you should look for. This is the tire that comes OE on Mercedes SLS / AMG, Porsche, Audi S and many more.
You can search in the consumer survey & comments about Conti in the Tire Rack Website and you will witness that the brand always score in the top 4.
Can't be wrong!
Hope this help.
