I need opinions on these tires. I have worn out my rears and need to replace all 4 tires. These look like a good tire for aggresive driving. Anyone here had any experience with them?

shut up and speak for experience ... have you had it before?

well, my friend has it on his E46 M3 ... wrap in his iforged 19's ... i must say the tires are not that bad if you base it on the price ... its good daily regular driving cuz the tires are quiet and very comfortable ride... NO for aggressive driving ... walls seems to be really soft ...

 

i know 2 people that had them and said that they are terrible.

my gf's pos beetle came with a pair, not sure it's shitty german engineering or really bad rubber, it's...um..let's just say we will not get another pair

 

i have a set, they are actually pretty good for the price. I use them on my daily driver and for an autox event and they hold up just fine. Very good in the rain and wet conditions, no noise no issues, no squealing. Indeed rather soft and forgiving but great tire for the price....Very comparable to 'old T1S i previsouly had.

General = Continental

 

Thanks to all of you who gave me an informative answer to question.

 

i am a manager at discount tire and i see these tires all the time.... just to let all of you kno they suck huge monkey nuts... the quality of construction, and the preformance of the tires is trmendously horrible.... i wouldnt reccomend putting them on anyones car

 

I have decided to go with Fuzion ZR1s. Thanks again.

 

ZRi.... it's a Fuzion ZRi.... not ZR1

 

Well excuuuuuuuuuuse me.

 

good bang for the buck,

Hankook Ventus Rs2's

I love em.

 

I can't believe no one recommended BF-Goodrich KDW-2's!!! Get those.

 

how come those tires from the op got such rave reviews from tire rack?

so you're saying he has to listen to you cuz you manage discount tire? ROFL

 

Right now I am running Hankook Ventus Sport 104s. Great tires but I want to try something else.

 

As for general, I would put them on a daily driver if I was strapped for cash and didn't intend to go around a corner without spilling a cup of coffee sitting on the dashboard. They are crap for any sport driving.

I cringe when I hear hankook tires. Poor construction, heavy, imitation of other manufactuer's tread design, and **** for performance on the track (performance line, not DOT-R...no experience with those). I'll post a pic of what happened with my last set of hankook's.

I can't find these in a 245/40R/17 for the AP2, so I think I'm going to go with the Falken Azenis RT-615. Opinions?
