Looking into new tires. All Season. Working with stock figures: 225/60 R 15.
New rims really aren't an option right now...plus I kind of like keeping the car stock...
Interested in two that TireRack recommends:
1) Continental ContiExtreme Contacts = $80 ea.
2) Kumho Ecsta ASX = $58 ea.
Both stack up comparable, Conti's maybe a bit better. Good reviews.
But...Several owners say they both tend to "Flat Spot" when they sit. Usually causing vibrations when you first drive again, until they warm up and round out.
Has anyone experienced this?
How bad is it?
Are we talking a subtle vibration or something seriously annoying?
...trying to make an informed decision. Thanks!
