Continental Sure Contact RX

Hi there...

Looking for some replacements for the PZero Tires. I have liked them, but they are getting very loud and the ride seems like it is getting worse quickly.

I have been looking at a few different brands and ran across these.

http://www.continentaltire.com/product/surecontact-rx-24545zr20-103y/?

I have not seen much information about them, so I thought I would ask here.

Thanks in advance.

The new extreme contact sport would be more of what your looking for. I work for Continental in the factory and I run them on I'm twin turbo camaro for street driving

Have you thought of the Firehawk Indy 500? It's summer performance tires and I just replaced my stock P-Zeros with it... so far so good. It sticks no matter what I do to it.

Price is really cheap too and reviews shows that they last quite a while.

The Continental tire of similar performance to the PZero is the Extreme Contact Sport, as mentioned above. In fact, it's better in all characteristics than PZero. But it's not for cold weather like an All Season tire you asked about. Apples and oranges.

Just remember you can't drive the summer tires in the cold or you'll damage them. If you want an all season tire, check out the extreme contact DWS06. Might be better for your area, unless you change to winter tires or put your car on stands for the winter.
