I've read those are good.. pricey but good. I wanted to go Pilots, but they too have mixed reviews. Also was thinking of stretching my tires.. What do you guys think???

The price point is pretty fair, about $1,000 shipped from TireRack which is cheaper than most comparable Bridgestone or Michelin tires. These tires are about 8 lbs less each than a Bridgestone I was looking at. Sure, you can get a set of Hankook's for about $700 shipped.

On stretching the tires, I would only do it if you really need to. With a 20x9.5 +10, 20x10.5 +10, I am still running a 245/275. The front only rubs once in a while when the car is full.

I should mention that the Continentals don't have rounded sidewalls like alot of other tuner tires.

So have I , they are questionable in the rain wore pretty quick on camber, might have a little tread separation and cracking but that could have been due to my camber and toe, for the price they are decent tires only if they sold the ZIEX ZE-912 in our sizes I would love them.
