    Favorite A4 tires?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    It's tire time for my '99 1.8T Front-trak, just wondered what you guys prefered. I have the sport wheels so it's a 205/55 R16, and I'm leaning towards Conti Extreme Contacts, or Pirelli P-Zero Neros. They have to be all season, and I'm setting my limit at $100 per. Thanks

    The S03s are great tires but, they aren't all-season.

    The Continental ContiExtremeContact are my personal fav. I'm on my second set right now. Quiet in the dry, stable in the rain and awesome traction in the snow.

    Which P7000 the summer ones or the P7000 Supersports. I had the P7000 Supersports they sucked @ss...they got decent traction in the rain & snow. But they wore funny...cupped, seperated & were noisey as he!! & the best part was the big bulge that I got in one of the sidewalls even though I did'nt hit anything.

    I like the supersports and haven't had any problems or anything and they were quieter than stock to me... Also rain traction is good, accel traction is ok (FWD car) stopping sucks but the cornering is unbeleivable...

    If you see snow, then go with the Continental ContiExtreme contacts. They aren't better than the others in the dry, but they are in the snow.

    Thanks for the feedback, I was leaning towards the Contis anyway. All season is required (Kansas), and I'm kind of biased against Pirelli, I had a set on a past truck I owned, and they were trash. Seems like the Contis are only about $80 or so on Tire Rack, another plus.

    Holy crap - you just described my P7000 SS's experience to a 'T' (other than the decent traction in the snow).

    The tires had good grip in wet/dry conditions, but after a year, they had strange 'flat spot' wear patterns. I also had a bulge in the sidewall on one tire.... couldn't figure out how the heck it came about.

    Bang for buck - they're an OK tire.

    I'm running Kuhmo MX's and I have had no complaints as of yet.

    60% of the time, it works EVERY time.
