What do you guys think? The reviews on both of them seem pretty solid. Car needs new tires, as only 1 isn't near the TWI. Car (depending on if i get the mod itch) most likely will be going to the track this spring...otherwise the tires would be just for DD'ing. I am a pretty spirited driver, and I do like to have fun in the car when I can. Opinions?

why continental?

Are they for your cobalt?

Look into Nexen 3000's.. i do NOT regret getting those for mine.

Edit: I take back the comment about the 3000s, I thought you were talking about the gsdr3's. Looking into them now... looking for something for the season, as I do have winters for them. Yes, they're for a cobalt ss/sc

I was reading the reviews on the contis, and they seem to be good in rain, which the pirellis that come on the car ARE NOT.

I won't buy pirelli after having 2 sets of them now on 2 different cars, and hating them 100% on both cars... I know they're a great tire and all, they're just not of my liking.

I was just about to ask you where he got them. I see the sizes and shit on their website, but nowhere to buy..

Thank fucking god, another person that agrees with me. I don't know why everyone swings on these tires, they BLOW.

 

[wombat]

Ryan, how was the road noise on the N3000's? Loud, quite? How were they turning corners fast? Do you remember?

 

[Riski]

conti's over pirelli's.....really.....ok.....

 

[wombat]

Riski, again, not bashing Pirelli, just the ones that came stock on this car.

 

[Riski]

oh ok.....got ya.....is it price range u wanna stay in?.....

 

[wombat]

I'd say about 150 max per tire sounds good. Not really looking for something fucking extreme, just decent...

I found these on ebay.

Seems good to me. I'm just confused as to it says 3 available, does that mean 12 tires available? So like 3 sets?

 

[Riski]

these are great tires....

Those are not your size,.....

 

[wombat]

I'd spend the extra 50 bucks or whatever to get the f1 gsd3's if I wanted to spend that much on tires.

 

[wombat]

not exactly but they'd fit

 

[Riski]

You can go wider but stay the same side sidewall....

 

[wombat]

It's only 1 size down, would it make that huge of a difference?... I'm not the most knowledgeable with tires though so I could be wrong.

It will throw off your speedo/odo slightly by going smaller/bigger than stock,.....
