--- Quote from: Mark_GTIV on July 09, 2009, 07:13:06 am ---These tyres were a slow burner for me. When I got them in Oct / Nov last year, at first they did not seem as good as the Continental Eco Sport 2 that were on the car as original equipment from new - they seemed noisier and far more likely to lose grip in the wet.

There is no such tyre! It will be either ContiEcoContact - or ContiSportContact

Apologies for bumping this thread.
I just had these fitted to the fronts. I previously had the Pilot Exaltos on all four rims. The back two still have over 6mm tread, whilst the front had gone down to less than 2mm.
Got KwikFit to fit them for £300 (only went in to ask about alignment!) but they're round the corner and it was quite convenient compared to the garage Blackcircles.com were using.
I've had them on the car for only two days but have found them to be a lot harsher. I don't know if this is because the Exaltos were worn down or whether they were softer etc but there's increased road noise and a bumpier ride.
Do tyres have to be 'broken in'? A recommended way to do it? Or just drive and let the tyres settle in?
john_o:
no probs , first point of call would be the pressures , and that they are fitted correctly...
compared to the exaltos they do have a stiffer sidewall. Al tyres benefit from a run in period
stealthwolf:
Pressures were the first thing I checked. In fact, when I left Kwik Fit, I headed towards the local petrol station less than 200 yards away and checked the pressures. They had been inflated to 2.1 bar (dunno if this was deliberate by KwikFit) and I inflated them to 2.6 bar.
I've got a trip involving the motorway tomorrow, so I'll push the car a little and see what happens.
tony_danza:
2.6 is a little higher than I run and may feel a tad firm???
Try 2.4 F & 2.5R unloaded.
