replaced my crappy continentals...

Post by VibeinPA »

I replaced those awful tires with 4 Michilen Harmonys. These tires are incredible. I was able to test them out in the ice today. My continentals never performed this well.

I hope to replace my Conti's next week also. I have 26K on mine and they're about shot. Definately not enough tread left for the snow we've had.

I also replaced the OEM Continentals with Continental Ultra Contacs. They have truly made the car a much better vehicle in inclement weather. The touring tires by Continental just performed poorly in winter weather. I have an AWD and it was bad. The Contacs are quite impressive. I went to an 18 inch wheel.
