New Conti EC sport 02

Being the m2 guinea pig on these. Appear to be close to the msp4s in reviews ive seen. Couldn’t get those in this size so bought these.. Heres a shot of them in real life/etc for those interested. 275/295 35 setup for my 18’s.. They are about 1/4” shorter than the 245/265 19 stocks on paper.. Wheels will be finished this week so I’ll follow up with install pics. They’re satin black 513m’s to mimick the 513 cs’s

These tires are awesome - I got them last year in 255/275/35/19 on the 437s and love them. Better steering feel than the PS4S and great street wear characteristics so far

I have them as well. Not as much grip as the 4s for sure. But more playful and sharper. It's a trade off. I miss the grip and rain performance of the 4s but the EC 02 might be more fun. Breaks traction sooner and with more communication.

I happen to be a diehard Michelin-man, but those look absolutely scrumptious

They look really sticky too

Glad to hear others are running them too..the reviews/tests seem to be as yall described. These and the ps4s edge each other out by tiny margins in diff categories, but are really close. They do look sticky, lots of surface area... My car came with cup 2’s in front and as4’s in rear. Going from 240 tread wear front & 540 rear to 340 at all corners. Plus the extra inch of width and sidewall as well, should result in a diff ride/response for sure. I seen others were pleased going to 18’s too. Really debated the re71’s but wanted a higher speed rating & more tire life.
