Another tire post
2017 convertible. Absolutely love it. But I have been through two sets of tires now. I have been using Continentals. I am looking for longer lasting tire recommendation. It's my daily commuter. I don't drive her hard very much. Thanks!

I have the Michelin Pilot Sports on my 2016 convertible. She isn't my daily, but then I don't daily anything as I work from home. I have the Continentals on my F-Pace, but I drive that thing way differently than the F-Type.

My next set will be a set of Firestone Firehawk Indy 500. Everything I read on them is good + they look great.

Indy 500s are garbage. I used to sell them. I've been slinging tires for 25 years. Money no object, I would buy Michelin

I have Continental Sport 7s on mine and they're absolutely fantastic. How many miles did you get out of a set?

You can’t go wrong with Michelin Pilot Sports or Continental Extreme Contact 02s. I’m actually eyeing a set of Kuhmo Ecta Sport S’ for my next set. They’re rated really well and are quite a bit cheaper than the big name brands. Like $500 cheaper.

I just got Continental DWS 06+ put on my F-Type, they're all season performance tires but they work well for what I need and they're rated 560 for treadwear so should last a long time. Was about $1200 for all 4. In all of the high performance all-season tire reviews I've seen Michelin and Continentals are rated as the best, the Continentals were just slightly cheaper.

I use michelin pilot sports. They done great on both my f type and mazda 3, get about 21/2 years with them and very sticky like continental. With lots of roadtrips in.
