@Sacto Mitch posted:.Stan, those Contis were available for years on Tire Rack (in that size, at least), but alas, no more. So, I'm not sure if Conti is still making them.
The only thing similar in that size on Tire Rack now is a ' ContiProContact', an all-season tire with a harder compound.
So, the Vred Sprint Classic may be the best option now.
I think they’re still made, Mitch. I found them on the Continental website. It’s probably a TireRack thing. They seem to only want to carry tires that sell briskly, and a 15” summer tire probably doesn’t fly off the shelves.
I found a place that still has them in a 195/55R16 (perfect for 5.5x16) for something like $85/ each. That’s a closeout price, which means an older date of manufacture code - but I can’t resist. I’m buying a set. It’s hard to sneeze at $340 for 4 tires.
If I hate ‘em, it’s not like they ever last 50,000 miles. I’ll let you know.
