My 21" summer tires are worn out (again), and I am trying to assess the options:
- stay with 21" Continentals
- switch to 21" Michelin
- switch to 21" Hankook
- drop down to 19" Michelin PS3 or AS3 with T-sportline wheels
There are several questions in my mind:
1. Cost? How much better is the tread wear with 19" performance tires over 21"?
2. Performance? Am I likely to notice much performance difference if I go with 19" performance tires?
3. Are the T-sportline wheels less susceptible to curb rash?
The simple answer seems to be.. just stay with the 21" Continentals... is that the best answer? Fortunately, all four of my tires need to be replaced, so I can more easily make a change this time.
