Customer Reviews
Great handling and grip.
I replaced Goodyear Eagles with these Continentals. Much quieter, smooth ride, good handling in dry weather and rain. By the way, 2005 Corvette.
These tires are comfortable, quiet, good traction, however the sidewall was not as rigid as the Michelins I replaced. For example, a brisk speed on a lengthy off ramp, I do not have the confidence I did with the Michelins, as is the sidewall was not as rigid. As for treadlife too soon to tell.
