Continental tires
Hi all
Was just checking out tire rack and notice they now have continental all season tires the zl1. Anyone with any experience with those or are they too new? Thanks |

For a lot of people, Continential is THE best at all season tires. I really love their ExtremeContact Sport tires, but they're not all seasons.

Continental Tires
I just put the new plus on my ZL1 and a world of difference they seem to ride better and hold the road only 200 miles so we will see after awhile how good they are.

I don't know what everybody else is talking about..... Mine came with Continentals (I have an Aussie RHD ZL1. The SC3s are not legal there. To import they had to switch to contis). Maybe the ones you're looking at are a new different line. But mine are crap in the grip department. They can't hook to anything asphalt, only cement. On Asphalt, I lose traction in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and sometimes 5th. I wouldn't wish these on my drag rival. As for comfort they're very comfortable. But hooking up is a joke. As soon as these get close to wearing out, I'm on the Michelins PSC2s or the Toyos 888s, probably the former as I heard the Toyos transfer too much road noise.

Does the 555r2 hook much better than the conti ECS tires from a dig and slow rolls on the street? |

To be honest, due to the weather I still haven’t driven them. They look nice though. Anyone looking for the Goodyear takeoffs, with 6,300 miles, PM me. New shoes:

OP
I had several sets of the DWS 06 and one set of the Plus tires on my 5th gen for street tires. They were excellent in the rain and cold, they even did ok in light snow. It is great news that they now make them in the 30 series for the ZL1. When I wear out the contact sports, I'll go back to the DWS Plus for street tires
