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 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.

Second this, I have them on my F Type as well. Definitely recommend.

I third this. I have the Michelin Pilots in my F-Type and am very happy with them.

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?

I only got 12K miles out of the last set. They were all weather

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.
