The tires thread "So I need tires..."

[JPolen01]

Emily's car needed new tires about 2 months ago and I finally got around to ordering and having new tires mounted. She got about 55k out of the OEM tires on her civic. Hoped for more, but whatever. Browsing Tire Rack I came across the Continental PureContact with Ecoplus Technology (yay more MPGs - maybe!). Best seller on Tire Rack, good reviews, and a $70 rebate so I snagged 4 of em. Had them shipped to a local installer and on the car within 3 days of order. Hooray for TR's local distribution centers and quick shipping. Drove the car back and forth to DC a couple weeks ago for a wedding and the tires were great. Extremely quite and very smooth - much more than the OEM tires (can't remember the brand). Yesterday we took the car to PA to visit family and got the first road trip in on the new rubber. No complaints. Some of the most quiet tires I have ridden on and really just soaked up the road. Would recommend so far for a generic all season. Will report back in the snow.
