new Continental ExtremeContact DW on today...
soooo after about 5400 miles on the stock pirellis, it took a slight mishap on the freeway onramp the other day for me to realize it was time for them to go...Continental ExtremeContact DW, 265/35/18s, put on today...
i've only driven maybe 30 or so miles but its a vast different from the pzeros...the car definitely feels "heavier," but that may just be the fact that it also feels more planted...
nothing too aggressive but i tried to slide the rear a little, at least to the point where the pirellis would usually let me slide but it didnt loosen one bit...
anybody else w/ experience w/ these? i guess ill be updating as i go along

Too early to determine how fast they will wear, have less than 1,000 miles on them.

Glad those are giving more grip, we'll not talk about your "incident".

What size is everyone goin on fronts with these tires? I'd like to step up to 245. 245/40 on stock rims work?I'm probably goin 265/35 on rears.
I heard good things about these so ill probably get these for now. The best thing about these cars is that we can try so many different tires in a short amount of time, lol.
