Good Tires??

Can anyone give info on Continental tires? I was told they come on some "high end" cars. Are they made by Firestone? Any info will be appreciated.

Re: Good Tires??

My 04 Mazda tribute (sports SUV, simmilar to ford escape) came with sock continental tires and I was less the impressed wth them. Handleing was suspect. Traction was never a problem though for that matter, handled the rain and snow very well, but then again this is an all-wheel drive car so mayeb that had something to do with it. The tires also started forming bubbles and cracks well before the tread life was ending. I switched to some BFG T/A's and I like them much better thus far. Im no tire expert by any means, but this is my opinion. Hope this helps.

Re: Good Tires??

they are not made by Bridgestone/Firestone, and a manufactior, as far as i'm concerned, will put whichever tire they can get the best deal on that meets their specs.
