I've never had great summer tires to compare them to, so the dry traction will probably still impress me no matter what. I don't care too much about noise, but I'd prefer that they're quieter than my buddy's mud terrains  Here's the link for the Continentals: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....Qty=4&i1_Qty=4 |
I had those on the evo in 235/40/18 and I liked them. I drove them in summer and winter.
Winter I thought they did great in moderate snow of an unplowed street, and did good on ice as well. I have not driven all out snow tires on the evo so I can't compare to that situation.
In summer they were up to par for being what they were, but I wouldn't say they are awesome summer tires.
I do not think these are quiet tires. I have heard some other 18" tires on all wheel drive cars and I would say some of the Falkens were quieter. I think that has some do with suspension setup also. They are loads quieter then an 070 or A046!
They seem to wear well also.
I'll actually be buying these again. I sliced 1 open on the way to work one day. I thought I could buy 1 and shave it down to matach my others but it was just better to buy 3 more after studying the wear better on the tires.
