Anyone have any experiences with these tires?

 

the conti extreme are supposed to be great, my friends getting them for her gtp.

 

Ive been told they are the most comfortable out of the high performance low profile sized tires. Thats what the tire rack rep said to me.

 

I've been running on them for about a month now. So far these tires are handling great. Wet/dry traction is really good. I definitely feel confident with their stopping ability. They are comfortable and quiet. I also like the fact that they seem to have a very strong sidewall. The mechanic that put them on said he had to really work at putting them on because the sidewall was less flexible than other tires. I hope he's right, I could use the extra strength on these NYC roads!!

I see tire-rack has these for about $86 ea. The pic on tirerack.com is a 205-55-16. Since we are running the 50 series, are the graphics on the sidewall really noticeable. I really want these tires, but damn those graphics

 

Not really sure what your definition of noticeable is. I mean if you look at the tire upclose, yea, you can see the righting and direction arrow. If you stand back, it looks like an aggressive tire, nothing that really sticks out and yells CONTI. Hope that helps!!

I have the Conti's and the graphics are not noticable AT ALL (unless you're standing really really close)

 

That's good! When these Miches burn down a little, I will get the Conti's.
