premiumcontact2 or energy saver

[aggelosf]

Hello i'm searching for tires at the moment and that's the reason i just register here
My dimension is 175/65R14 and i'm between two tires. The Michelin Energy saver and the Continental Premiumcontact2. Most tire sellers suggest me the michelins from the other hand at many greek forums that i asked they tell me to buy the Continentals.
I think the continentals are better they are for sure a category higher.
So what do you suggest me to do?

from what ive seen, michelins are higher priced. thats why they are recommended. if you arent looking for anything special i would recommend a maxxis tire. they are excellent quality and very affordable. ive been using their high performance tire on my yaris for some time now and it never ceases to amaze. other family members have thei all seasons and they love them as well.

i found the michelins at a very good price 230 euros for 4 tires.
the maxxis are not ideal for the greek roads we need softer tyres.

You can also check out Uniroyal. Had a set of these before, sidewalls were pretty soft but handling was pretty good
