First in while to say that, most people recommend the exaltos. Personel choice, or have you heard they affect the handling?

 

[Klang1.6]

was gonna choose between the Continetal Sport Contact (these on now?)

Michelin Piolt Exaltos

Goodyear Egale F1s



Why stick to the contis?

I like the Contis, its just a personal preference, i like the way they are very predictable and also good in both wet and dry conditions. They are also considerably cheaper than the other 2.

And the car was designed to use them.
