Bigfoot Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I need tires and just curious if anyone has run these two. Yes, I know the Pilot Sports and others are best, but at a price. My driving is only going to be spirited runs on occasion and maybe a an Autocross day or two if that hat ever happens again...hint Dawg. Just looking to to see if there is any big reason to avoid these. They come at a very good price. Continental Extreme Contact DW or Bridgestone Pole Position Thanks for your input.

Bigfoot Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 That would be good, but those are a 2011 production run. 4 years on the shelf. Hmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie44 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Just so you are aware I've heard Discount does "price match" with online companies. Just take their cost and add shipping, mounting and other charges that the online company gets and Discount will match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigfoot Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 I looked earlier at tire rack at these two tires and their prices were only cheaper until you added in shipping. After that, they are more expensive...but then again no sales tax. But at that point I'd rather keep my money local anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTIMANiac Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I had Discount order the Conti DWs for me. When I went to get them installed the guy at discount said they do not stay balanced and the Super Sports were only 130 more... If you go with Super Sports I can make a great deal on fronts. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigfoot Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 Good info GTI. The Super Sports wind up about $300 more expensive. How old are the fronts you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTIMANiac Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Fronts have just a few hundred miles on them. I want to go with 265s. Go up to Discount and you'll get a better deal than online. I got my set for about 1350 OTD, that was for 305/30 rears and 245/40 fronts with replacement certificates. Shoot me a PM if interested can get you the exact mileage.

Big Poppa Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 FWIW, I'm a big fan of the Nitto NT05. They are low cost, and perform as well as the Michelin PS2's that I ran a few years ago, at least when new. They tend to start going off in performance after 6 months or so, but are always predictable and have smooth break away characteristics. Soon as I have a few bucks, I will be putting a set on my Camaro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old yeller Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Sam's club has BFG G Force fronts for 155.93 and rears are 220.97 each non-run flat. That is about the cheapest I have seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desertdawg Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Sean, if your tires aren't bald already, try to make them last until you can afford good ones ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOXXOH Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I'm currently running Bridgestone S04's. Not enough difference than my previous Invos to notice, except a little under $900 vs a little over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've gotten really good mileage out of these .... tho I don't track the car ...... I'll continue to use these for the money saved .........

Not so fast Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Have you considered the Hankook Evo?? Seems to be a pretty good tire and very reasonable. It isn't a run flat though. When the time comes I will very much consider them, good looking also. NSF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigfoot Posted February 24, 2015 Author Share Posted February 24, 2015 I have Hankooks on now...non run flats. They are at the end of their life and not good. I don't know what they were like new unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
