New pair of rear continental extreme contact looks awful on my car

They are the same size of my Nitto G2 305x35x19 and now it looks like a have a pair of balloons on my car?

I went back to the Nitto's for that same reason, I liked the tall shoulder of the Nitto over the rounded shoulder of the Michelin's Pilot Super Sport as well.

My car is at the dealer getting a new wheel bearing. I might just order the Nittos and sell these. They have been on my car for like 3 days and driven like 10 miles

Which Conti ECs? If the Sport or Sport 02s they make the Nittos seem like the warmed over 20 yr old tires they are. Dry, wet, cold, hot everywhere. Lateral grip way higher, longitudinal grip is in a different league. Plus they have a 30K mileage warranty if you square your set and can rotate.

And I’m not talking subjective impressions, go check the Tire Rack test results for the UHP/max performance summer tire test last year. My personal experience with having run 3 sets of EC Sports on my SS Sedan has mirrored their results. And, one of my best 0-60 Dragy runs was on regular asphalt at 39F on them. 1.9 0-30, 4.08 0-60 and a 12.2@116 1/4 mile. Again, On summers, in 39F.

Yeah I agree the ECS 02 has a more rounded sidewall. BUT, the Conti is WAY, VAST LIGHT YEARS better than those Nitto pieces of crap. I have had the G2's and they are the most mediocre tires I have ever driven on. Barely adequate in hot dry weather. If it gets chilly or rainy, they become ice skates. The Conti I have now are SOO much better, maybe even better than PS4S I had before.

Amen, the G2’s are trash.

My Continental's have been great for me. Also look great and give some rim protection as well. Wish they made a drag radial.

Did you check their website for fitment prior to ordering? Manufacturers have different specs and they are labeled on their website.

Agreed, I think they look great. I did really like the look of the PS4S as well. And probably equally as good of a tire, maybe better. Especially comparing my wore out Michelin with the new Conti's I have..

I like mine, don't think they look bad at all. 305 30 19 up front, 325 30 19 rear.
