Default Continental Tires 295/30/18 Needed

While having my LWFW and clutch installed, I discovered that my rear tires are shot (belt showing). They are Continental Sportcontact 2, size 295/30/18. I would love to find a lightly used pair, for a reasonable price. I already checked E-bay. Thanks.

Mark,

Those tires are so expensive. A new set of Conti rears equals to a full set of Sumitomos HTR ZIII. I bought 235 fronts and 295 rears shipped from Tirerack for around $650 last year.

I had a set of Sumitomo HTR ZIII tires put on my C4S about a month ago. I am very pleased with them. It's hard to beat the price!

I found a lot of web tire places are having some good sales. I bought a pair of Continental SC2's for $159 each. (From Tirerack)

Thanks for the info on the tires guys. Tirerack wants about $320 (each) for my size. I plan on tracking it this summer. I need rears that will get me through the summer...my fronts will probably outlast my next set of rears....I seem to only get about 5,000 miles out of a set of rears. Maybe I should change my driving style?

Sure and buy a G35 when you do......

I do have to note that the tires I purchased were for my dad's crossfire....they were 18's but I was amazed at the price reduction.....

My second choice would be a used set of (4) Pilot Sport Cups. They would make for a fun summer.
