New tires for my VW

[shortyb]

The follow-up to my good experience at Discount Tire thread. So Dad got some new shoes. Slapped them on and went out for a ride. Not broken in yet, but can feel they stick like chewed bubble gum on hot asphalt. First few miles I could tell much quicker transient response and braking traction. Just a tad harsher than the 235/40-18s they replaced. Think this will be fun.

OK, but, what tires?

Guess you had to follow the whole adventure.

First, posted in the Continental Tire rebate program thread. These are the 235/35-19 Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02s that I ordered as part of the program. Then, I started the thread about having them mounted and balanced at Discount Tire, at which, I had a very good experience with. Wrapped it all up with this thread. Thanks for playing along .

Aaahh, OK. Did not follow that.
Yeah, let me know how that goes. I am running DWS06+ now, and while a very good tire, I'm a bit irritated with the soft sidewalls. And running those bcs. with changing weather here, AS tires are really the best bet in May, June, or September, and in October. But I miss those max performance summer tires. That "glue" feeling. So thinking that tire or Michelin PS4S next year.
