What's your tire brand?

The unpredictable
I'm using Continental PremiumContact 185/60 HR14. I found they have a much better grip than the Pirellis I used on my previous car. I need to replace the front tires and haven't decided yet if I stick with Continental or go Michelin. What's your current/preferred brand?

I used to run Goodyears, but switched to Michelin after reccomendations by several mechanics and enthusiasts. They truly were a much better tire in handling, braking, and road feel.

My Honda had cheap Kelly tires on it, which I replaced with Bridgestone BT-70s tires. That was one great set of tires. I miss it. My Neon came with cheap "Capitol" tires on it. One of them is slightly out of round, making for a vibration on the freeway. It's still safe to drive, so I haven't switched yet, but I'll definitely get a name brand next time.

I see a hell of a lot of Toyo Spectrum tires nowadays. Any idea how good those are?

I like to get Michelins here as well, I've found they are well worth the extra money, as they last about twice as long as the cheap ones.

But when they cost 3 times as much as the cheap ones, you lose in the long-run...
