Anyone running the Blizzak 6? It's supposed to be their performance/touring winter so similar to a Pilot Alpin or Continental TS.

AstulzerRZD 10-03-2025 09:15 AM

EU tire label seems to think performacne should be similar.
The previous gen wore out super quickly though.

I'd just get the michelins lol

bcrdukes 10-03-2025 01:15 PM

I think the fashionable trend as of late on RS is to get Continentals.

roastpuff 10-03-2025 01:16 PM

I just get Contis because I get stupid discount on them.

If I can get the Michelins for the same price of course I would take Michelins.

bcrdukes 10-03-2025 01:47 PM

Everyone, PM roastpuff. He has access to a secret Continental deal for 2025.

roastpuff 10-03-2025 02:14 PM

2 sets a year and both sets are taken this year. Go away vultures :D

EDIT: You can join Audi Club North America (don't have to be an Audi owner lmao) and get the tire discount as well.

bcrdukes 10-03-2025 02:25 PM

Classic example of a Guangdong hoarder!

headhunt3r 10-03-2025 02:59 PM

How good is the discount? Any examples you can share?

Fuck that's a few hundo cheaper for a set.

roastpuff 10-03-2025 03:25 PM

Seeing 1193 total with delivery and tire fee and taxes through Conti, vs $1793 at PMC Tire (pre 20% discount - with discount maybe around $1400 through PMC).

Please elaborate.

So you just join, and then they give you access to a secret ordering website to buy their tires online from some direct source?

And then it gets shipped to you at some sort of address, I suppose? Is the shipping source Canadian or US-based though? Cuz that becomes important if I have to pick up from Point Roberts, or I have to pay brokerage or something for importing them from the US.

You join the club.

You get Continental partner pricing sign up code - to order tires directly from Continental Canada. Order (we Vancouverites can only order from the Western Canada warehouse out of the pool that IPP gets which is NOT the same as the retail pool) tires, they are shipped to your door in Canada.

Bring tire to preferred tire installer.

Badhobz 10-03-2025 04:33 PM

yeah but they arent michelins......

roastpuff 10-03-2025 04:37 PM

The Conti ExtremeContactForce is not available. Neither is the Hoosier TrackAttackPro. I asked but they won't budge as the track-oriented tires are run through a separate department/division.

You can pick either the SportContact 6/7 or the ECS02 for summer tires, or if you want to go down budget the General G-Max RS is also available.

General truck tires are also part of this preferred pricing scheme for the SUV guys on RS.

Naice~! Coming straight from Canada means I wouldn't have to go through the US border. I am really not all that big on travelling to the US at the moment.

Last question -- who might some of these preferred tire installers be?

Badhobz 10-03-2025 05:38 PM

Those straight pipes idiots, specially that yuri fag, have made Conti permanently distasteful in my books
