Re: Just replaced my front tires
I've had the Extreme Contact Sport 1 on since May 2017 and have about 18K on them.
Right now they are at 7/32 in front--5/32 on rear.
They worn evenly and are still decent in the wet.
When new, they were the bomb--quiet, amazing in the wet, great dry traction and supple ride.
Only down side noted was a slight decline in steering response which I didn't think was a deal breaker.
Compare to the P Zeros they replaced, this is a far better tire.
Since I'm driving the car less the past 3-4 years, I'm thinking Mich.A/S4 as replacements since I'd like to drive earlier and later in the year.
I know I'd lose a bit of the performance but have them on another car and like them a lot.
BTW, the latest TR test of this tire put them Sport 2 ahead of the PS4.....
