Hi all,

The search button doesn't seem to reveal any relevant and recent threads - tire tech can change quite a bit from year to year - so I hope its not too much trouble to ask: any recommendations for a summer Grand Touring tire?

Incidentally very impressed with the Conti EWC I got for this winter, so impressed I'd happily go with Contis for summer as well.

I've given it some thought, and I think a Grand Touring tire is best for me, rather than a HP or UHP tire.

Thanks in advance 3Gers!

First, make certain you want a summer tire and not an all season tire. The summer tires have very low tread wear because of the "soft" compounds used and the summer only tire can't be used in cold weather <35 degrees F/2 c.
Second, the category Grand Touring Summer tire when viewed on Tire Rack, only 3 listed, all Michelin, W/Y speed rating.

Suggest looking into All Season tires.

There are very limited options in the Sumemr Touring Category. You are most likely going to have better luck with higher speed rated Grad Touring All Season tires.

Sorry Turbonut, I posted without reading your response first, which was nearly identical to my suggestion.
