Summer Performance Tires Posted by MI-Roger [Email] (#882) [Profile/Gallery] (more from MI-Roger) on Tue, 7 Apr 2015 15:58:54 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Tire sales are in progress and I need to decide within a week what tires I will put on my Viggen. Prices below are all for the OEM size, all are W or Y rated with no warrantied mileage. Emotionally I like the idea of Nokians for my Viggen but they are very rare and a damaged tire could be difficult to replace. Coopers have not always had a good reputation but that has changed after their acquisition of Avon and the savings are significant. Michelins are considered by many to be the ultimate tire choice for these cars. I see the Continentals as being close to the Michelins but at a lower price and with broad availability. I can't truthfully say if this set of tires will be replaced due to wear out or dry rot risk in the future. No track days, no auto-crossing, mostly sane speeds.
Has anyone had poor experience with one of the models identified?
Cooper RS3-S at ~$75 each delivered
Nokian Z-Line at ~$108 each w/o delivery
Continental Extreme Contact DW at ~$128 each delivered
Michelin Pilot Super Sport at ~$138 each w/o delivery
Thanks,
