Continental Extreme Contact Force vs Falken RT660

My Spyder is a daily only and has had Continental Extreme Contact Sports, but currently on Flevas. Flevas are great ride quality, but the Continentals I miss since they were great even in the rain. Only downside was the ride quality.

Tirerack only has Fleva, PS31 and & PA31 avail in 195/205 for 15". I got Konig Helium wheels (6.5" wide) so 215 is the widest I can go. Might have to look into different rims to allow for a greater choice of tires.

I dis like Kuhmos (PS31 / 205 50 15) they were the worst by far next to the Contis and Flevas. Maybe others like them? They were a great tire to make the Contis feel night and day better though bottom line. lol

That is a wide set for OEM rims. If using those tires sizes I would go with wider rims. Personally I like OEM tire sizes or as close as I can get to them for Street driving.

FWIW, I had 205 50 tires (square Conti) put on a set of stocks. It was staggered wheels though not double (15in only). Was fine imo.

I am not a fan of a square setup for a street spider. The owner can do whatever he pleases as long as it's in a different state away from me.

I don't get that as I've been square pretty much my entire ownership (since 2016), never had a problem, and I daily it on a 40 mi round trip highway commute 5 days a week. I'm less defending square and more complaining the complete shit show lack of selection in general for wheels & tires for this car... The only exception is if you're track or auto x (200 tw tires) otherwise shit out of luck.
