The biggest take away is that these will wear like iron and will probably out last the RS4's. Will be interesting to see if Hankook replaces them with another endurance tire or an autocross competitor to fight the A052/RT660. Also a lot of this could be marketing fluff. Won't really know until people get their hands on them and start driving. |

Maybe it's car/driver/setup specific, but I've not found the RS4s to be problematic with overheating unless you just overdrive them - but I've only done 20+ min sessions - not anything close to a long enduro session. Looking forward to hearing some reviews from the end users. They do appear to be lightweight 23.2 lbs for a 245/40-17 vs about 25 for the RS4 IIRC. |

Any user reviews for this new Conti?
It’s been a couple months since the last post. |

They're supposed to last longer than the RS4's and yet be much faster. We'll see when real testing comes out to confirm. The price point, in Canada anyways, is comparable to the falkens so if they last longer I'll be happy with them.

They don't last anywhere near what the RS4's will last. I only have about 4 track days on mine and they might last two more. They are okay, but I am not really a fan. They struggle in high ambient/track temps.

You are on currently on RT660s right now if I read your other posts correctly - so you are saying those are not lasting as long as the RS4s? When I first read this I thought you were saying the new Conti ECF didn't last as long as the RS4s.
