Default New tires....again
I'm in the market for new tires. These continentals aren't working out. I hit a curb and now i have a bubble in a tire. Second time it's happened with these brand. So i'm going to get new ones.

Any suggestions? What you guys driving on? I want good traction. Like really good traction. No tire squeels when I go around corners a little bit faster than a normal person. Oh and incase i hit a curb i don't want it to bubble....Help! Please

I'm on Dunlop SP Signatures - best tire I've had for all conditions including snow.

Great ride / handling and best of all no noise.

Better buy 2 sets though, because they'll be all done in 15,000 miles!
