What tires came on your car stock?

codex57 · 08-19-2003, 05:03 AM

I'm starting to think I got ripped. My 2003 325ci sport came with Dunlop 2000s. Isn't that one of their lower end models? It seems to perform fine, but my g/f's Camry came with Dunlop 8000s so it just makes me wonder.

What were the stock tires on your cars?

Now I feel cheated... mine came with Continental Contisports...

Fireman3 · 08-19-2003, 08:39 AM

Continentals here, as well.

Locarian · 08-19-2003, 08:45 AM

Continental Countitouring Contact Crappers...

I still have them on my fronts, but I have some nice Dunlops on my rears.

Once I get my ACS Type III's, I'll get some Pilot Sports.

Gary@Tirerack · 08-19-2003, 09:41 AM

I'd rate the Dunlop 2000's better than the Original ContiSport Contact (though not as good as the Contact2 that some are coming with) that many came with, but not as highly as the Pilot Sports. The Bridgestone was more of a touring tire, and that Goodyear RSA was just plain below average being an H/V rated all season. All in all I'd say you didn't do *too* bad...

are contisports the worst tires you can get?

doubleloseven · 08-19-2003, 11:51 AM

contisports

SST · 08-19-2003, 01:56 PM

2003 325i SP, conti-sport.

They seem pretty good. I keep them inflated to 33 front and 37-38psi in back. It seems they will get louder as more miles pile up, but they ride smoothy and the grip isn't too bad.

I'm going to try the new Conti-extreme all seaons for the winter. Tire rack rates them MUCH better than the contacts.
