what tires have you had or liked?
has anyone had P225/60/R16 continental ContiExtremeContact tires on their car before? i'm looking fro next spring when i take my snows off and so far i'm liking these tires for the handling aspects in the rain. i'm also between the Bridgestone Potenza G019 Grid tires or BfG Traction T/A's
any thoughts?

I know that Mamonte (Michael) had them he and he liked them, that is the conti trac tires..
Look at Tirerack.com
The General Altimax HP have great reviews, and are a great price too. (plus look cool too
)
I am running Continental Conti-Pro Contacts right now, and so far i'm very happy with them.
On the more expensive side of things, the Michelin Hydroedge is an excellent tire, just kinda steep on the price side of things.

A bunch of people have the Goodyear Eagle GTs including me and I think they perform well in all seasons - I can't afford winter wheels so I run the GTs all year round.

I have always had Michelin Pilot Sport A/S....pricey but a great tire...I believe the the next generation is out now, Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus....last time I was on the fence between them and trying out Bridgestone Potenza's but decided to stick with what I knew...also have them on My GTO, but maybe looking to switch to Continental's for that one.

Run the BF Goodrich 255-50 ZR-16 g-Force Sport series. have had really great performance with them. Did an Autocross with them and held right tight to the track.
Have them on my factory 16" rims, about the widest tire I could get on the car, used wheel spacers on the rear to prevent rubbing suspension components.

I've heard good things about this tire. I use the G019's myself, and the G009's prior to that and I've always gotten good wear out of them with no issues.

I just got the Firehawk Indy 500 Wide Ovals. I'm digging them so far, but I haven't had the opportunity to test them yet.
