0/40 17 Tyre Review Highlights

Continental ExtremeContact Sport rated 98% while driving a BMW Z4 3.0Si
Driving on a combination of roads for 300 spirited miles
2010 BMW Z4 30i with 25850 miles; May 2022. Took off run-flats and it's a whole new car. Grip is amazing, cornering is solid, tight, and no noise from the tire at all. Daily driving is smooth, quiet, very competent and compliant, no tracking on road grooves, and much more stable in cross winds. I am very, very happy and will buy these again. NOTE; this size is not the OEM, these are wider but same circumference. Also, I live in the desert southwest and do not get much rain, almost zero snow and very mild winter temps, so these are my only tires.

Bridgestone Potenza RE71R rated 65% while driving a Lexus LS400
Driving on track for 500 spirited miles
We race these in Lemons (running 245 in front on 8" wheels and 255 in the back on 9"). They BARELY lasted one event. and were only marginally quicker than our baseline Dunlop ZIII which gripped nearly as well, lasted twice as long and are more precise at the limit. Despite all the media hype, I found these to have a very "mushy" feel at the limit (no doubt due to the very soft compound), and while great for the novice I found them to be too imprecise. I'd much prefer a peakier and more accurate tire. Gets a big "meh" from me and kinda reminds me of the the handling of the ultra lightweight Hoosier bias ply tires I ran in SCCA road racing decades ago.

Dunlop Direzza ZIII rated 80% while driving a Lexus LS400
Driving on track for 0 spirited miles
These are our "baseline" tires for our 24hrs of Lemons Lexus LS400 (we run 255 in the back). They wear great, are predictable and super easy to drive on, while not being the fastest unfortunately as we are otherwise very happy with them. Good for about 1000 race miles on our car, though we put new ones on each event.
