Another Tire Thread

[CoBeerToad]

I'm not a professional driver so I run Goodyear. They grip when I want them to and break when I desire to do a mini spin around a corner. They work great for me. I get about 20-25k out of the rear and unknown out of the front. I'm only about 35k on the front and they look fine. I imagine they'll need replacing around 50k.

I'm slightly biased as I've only run Goodyear on every car I have ever owned for the past 20 years, so take that into consideration.

That does mean you have trust in Goodyear. That would be a good thing even with a grain of salt.

I've been running the Conti DWS's on my 99 Carrera 4 for about 1.5 years/ 30K miles and have been very happy with them. In dry conditions, they have performed as expected. In fresh snow or pouring rain they have been terrific. The rears now need to be replaced, but the fronts still show the D,W, & S (each letter is cut to a different depth, and when that letter is gone, the tire is no good for that condition).
Worn, the rear tires are getting a bit loud. I plan to purchase another set and continue using these tires.

I had ExtremeContact on my NC Miata and they did great. This is a bit of good info for me, thank you.
