Front tires worn, replace fronts or all? Opinions on Continental SportContact 2/3?

Fisch · 03-22-2011, 07:07 PM

The outside shoulder of both my front tires is starting to get very worn, but the rears still have good tread. Is it best to just replace all four tires or only the front?

Also, I was planning on going with Continental SportContact 2 or SportContact 3 since I can get a 50% discount on any Continental tire. Any opinions on those two models/brand? A lot of people are also running non-OEM and non-RFTs right?

Just wanted to get some opinions. I'll probably still have the dealership do the mount/balance and alignment.

Thanks!

if youre planning on going with different tires might as well go with all 4. Mis-matched tires arent great depending on your driving style

Yea that's what I was probably going to do. Just feels bad since the rears have good tread!
