Default tire time

WZ 1L Ecoboost here - next best thing to an ST.
Done 40k on the original Contact2s, looking a bit bald. Probably my fault.

Anyway, should I get them again or is there something better, or better value?

From all reports the Contact 2's suit the Fiesta very well but they will likely be $300+ each. You could consider the Dunlop SP Sport (for about $200 each) or even the Pirelli Cinturato P1 which are currently around for about $100 each.

Cheers

Thanks for that.
Looks like I can get Contact2s for $210.
MaxXis have been good for me in the past. M-36s are $130 at the moment.

I've got these (in a different size) and rate them very highly, even with a bit more power going through the front wheels.
