Agree With That, What Tires are you running again..?

I had them on before... great tires but super soft so they don't last long... I got 19K out of the last set and the shop replaced them via warranty since they are supposed to last 45K....

45k warranty and they are soft? That doesn't sound right

I wasn't going to ask questions.... I assumed like most Ultra performance summer tires that there was NO warranty... they brought it up... so I said "sounds good"... not looking a gift horse in the mouth...

SBS you get those from a national chain or a smaller local/regional store?  How is road noise with those comp2?, I have heard differing reports.  They were on my short list with last car, then Conti ran a sale so I went with Conti DW as they ended up being cheaper.

Doesn't sound right at all, but who are we to argue :-p  specially if they honor the warranty!

Probably a hundred or more... they don't need much break in.. they comp-2s are incredibly soft... I would never use them on a daily driver... like ever... unless I just wanted to piss money away...

What if you only drive 10miles each way to work?  :-p 

How is their wet pavement performance?

The road noise isn't bad... they are not as quiet as an all season comfy tire. As the tread wears down to the wear indicators they get noisy...

But the first half of the tire life is great.

Wet performance is spot on, I have no issues in torrential rain. Snow sucks... like 2 inches of snow and I am all over the place...

It's not my daily driver... it sits in the garage 90% of the time... the baby ecoboost on the street is my commuter.
