New From Continental (and Hoosier): A 200tw Endurance Tire

What if I want to put the 205/50-15 or 225/45-15 on my NA Miata? Will that invalidate the warranty? ;)

Weird breakdown. But happy to see more performance tires in the 23" OD size, and I'm looking forward to drive reports!

245-15 PLZ

No 16-inch sizes - in general, has 16 become even less supported than 15 in the perf. tire world?

What do you mean "become"? They've never been as well supported as 15s.

Yeah, 16" was always the unloved middle child.

Also, I'd really like to see the performance numbers on these. The 340tw ECS can put down grip numbers that nearly equal some 200tw tires, so a 200tw Conti ought to be monstrous.

Hopeful for two things:  that it's truly aimed at the endurance crowd and not another of the super-200tw autocross tires, and that they make a 245/15 if the first part holds true.

Then your fitment would be....  atypical.  

I love all the 200TW options these days.

But, seriously, give us the 16s!

In reply to ross2004 :

I suspect that it will have grip levels close to the super autocross rubber within the class and wear better, but won't be resistant to being heat cycled.
