My priority for tires is a smooth Quiet ride with no darting around on the highway, since I have a 150km round trip to work, and is one of the reasons I love my coupe. With the sizes of these tires, price is a factor as well. The tires on this were Conti Touring Contact, and they actually seem to fit that nicely. I really only needed rears, as they were down to the wearbars, and was going to just replace those with the same, but I found a plug repair in one of the fronts, as well as some not so favorable Continental Contact reviews in wet and snow conditons, so decided on a complete set. I wanted Dunlop Star Spec, but they couldnt get those. I was seriously looking at the Hankook ventus v12's based upon a car and driver? review of tires (its in the forum somewhere), but after reading some reviews here, and Tire rack, i was concerned about noise and wear. I called Ryan at OK Tire (shameless plug) and he said check out the Generals, so I put on a set. I was very apprehensive about losing that nice smooth quiet ride, but so far I am VERY happy. Not many miles yet, right out to the highway,and it was smooth and quiet. Probably a bit more quiet because the rears were down to the bars, and Im not sure how sticky they are yet. I wont be driving them in the snow, and wont be able to tell you about the wet unless it starts to rain when Im out. Looks like I may be taking a couple thousand km's round trip here next week if I dont get the AC fixed on the Yukon, and will post an update when I'm back. 2004 Silver Blue 6spd Coupe Annnnnd.......Loving it!
