This is the endurance tire, designed to compete against the RS4. I've heard there is an autocross compound coming...

No 305/30/19, so won’t do me much good. They also cost more than the 3Rs. Idk. I’d have to wait and see how they do and how long they last.

I have a set on order in 315/30/19. I probably won't to try them out until early fall though.
It seems they might run small, so that is why I am trying the 315s....

Someone hurry up and stuff the 315/30-19's on their 1LE and let me know if they fit.


Looks like the 305/30-19 RT660's are 12.5" wide and the 315/30-19 Conti's are 12.7" wide. So there is hope.



Although I have to burn up my 660's and the fire sale RE71's before I try these.

A lot of people who don't autox use the A7 when they absolutely, positively, want to run the fastest single lap possible on a DOT tire.

In today's world, taking that same approach on 200TW means a lap with the A052. I expect the "autocross" compound of the ECF to be in this neighborhood, should it happen.

All the large sizes are delayed in shipping. I’ll have a set of 295/30 / 315/30 as soon as they hit the warehouse.

They'll fit. User mecorn on this site is running RT660s in sizes 305/30/19 on 19x10 in front (net offset of 18mm I believe) and 315/30/19 on 19x11 et43 rear for B Street with no issues. That's 12.8" of awesomeness in back, so the Contis shouldn't be a problem.

FWIW, a local autocrosser involved in testing an autocross-oriented Conti a couple years ago said they were kind of stymied on getting good grip/times with decent treadwear. Maybe they've found something since then, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
