I know its the wrong forum but nobody is answering in the tire forum.. so
im about to buy either the Pirelli P-Zero Nero M+S or Continental Extreme Contact... advise me on what i should get... they are 225/55/16

 

i've got Continental Extreme Contacts on my max and i must say that they provide excellent traction in dry, wet, and snowy conditions. i have friends running them on their 'stang and wrx and they both agree: great tires!

 

i had the extreme contacts z rated. They wore out very quick, but a very nice tire.

 

The Pirelli only has a 220 treadwear rating. OUCH! Given the choice of the 2, I woul go with the Continental. (400 treadwear rating)

 

Go on TireRack.com and find out for yourself.

 

the continental. My bro has them on his rsx, awesome tires. n yea.....the pirelli has like no life to it. If i bought that tire, i'd be changing it quite often

 

Read the feedback for each tire on Tireracks web site.
Them make a decision based on that information. Much more info up there then on this board.

 

I would suggest getting 225/50/16's if your on stock rims, this will yield the least amount of difference on the speedometer/odometer etc. And on the continentals.

 

thanks guys i went with the contis in 215 55 16 $416 shipped with roadside warrenty... thanks everyone

 

Very good price. Why did you opt for the stock size over the wider tires?
