Bridgestone  Turanza EL400-02

Pretty decent tire for everyday driving with good dry traction. These tires are decent in rain and have really good wet traction as well. The tires for my car are pretty wide so hydroplaning is easy but they hold up very well in a heavy downpour.

Bought these tires in early 2022 for HPDE as I was wanted something that would last a full season of learning. Compared to Michelin PS4S the ECF turns the grip on quick, are extremely heat-tolerant and consistent over 30min sessions (even with 90F air temps), and have a predictable rear breakaway. They grip well with air temps in the mid-40F range, are confident on a wet track, provide audible feedback when nearing traction limits and work fairly well on the street if a little loud at highway speeds. On a 3900lb sedan I start at 30PSI cold and target 35PSI hot for the second session on and never experienced rollover at those pressures like I did with PS4S (trashed a front left due to that). -2.0 front camber worked well on my heavy car, but I think a bit more would have been most ideal. Mine have 7 track days with at least 30 sessions on them along with a thousand or so road miles and there is plenty of life remaining, though I did flip them on the wheels after their third day to even out wear.

Really impressed with dry tire grip. I don’t expect long wear life but the performance they offer is worth it. I feel the soft rubber compound it an advantage in wet or cold climate even though there isn’t much tread , almost a slick.
I highly recommend this tire however note, I have performed major suspension modifications on this mx5 to get rid of excessive roll.

Running 225/40/17 on 8" and 275/35/18 on 10". Exceptional grip! Once it quickly warms up, and compared with my previous tire the Falken RT-660, it provides more initial grip than I expected. I wonder how well it holds up against the Michelin Cup 2... The Continental ECF really hooks up during canyon carving sessions on the Snake and other local twisty back roads with predictable breakaway and recorvery. I can't vouch for track events but I fully expect that it would perform well during local HPDE events, especially if the surface is wet. I'd likely add more camber and toe if my 300k mile NSX was a weekend fun car, but since I try to drive it daily, compromises must be made to keep my wife and wallet happy!

Great track tires, tread wear is excellent, 10 track days so far and still have a lot of tread left. They get a little greasy in warm conditions, but stick really well in the first couple sessions or cool-warm days. Highly recommend

We use these tires for endurance racing and they have been fantastic. They lack the grip of an RE71Rs, A052, or some of the other super 200tw tires, but they fall off FAR less, and last forever.

The best way to describe these tires, they are an RS4 that is faster, that does NOT heat cycle out.

We have run our tires for 5+ hours in racing conditions, and 4 days of testing, and every time we hit the track the tire feels exactly the same as it did when it was brand new. Despite being on its 5th+ heat cycle, we are able to continue to improve our lap times while developing our car despite the tire getting older. This is the perfect tire for anyone who wants a competitive track day tire that doesn't require insane cool-down laps to remain fun, while also lasting an entire season of racing and daily driving.

This tire is not the "Best" tire out there, but it genuinely serves a purpose of being fast enough, while being insanely durable, and not falling apart after 1-2 heat cycles (like the RS4). Our frustration with that tire was that we had to throw away tires after 1 weekend because their pace dropped off by 1-2s+/lap and felt horrible. The Conti ECF has been consistently improving in lap times heat cycle after heat cycle despite their age and wear.

We started at a 1:34.1 at Atlanta Motorsports Park. We've made some updates to the car and ran a 1:32.5 on the 4th heat cycle. Adjusted our splitter angle and dropped our lap time down to a 1:31.8. So despite their age, we are finding more and more lap time every time we take the car out on track. Some of that is development of the car, but the tires are still hanging in there giving us the same feel each time we go out. (Similar weather conditions for each session).

The Continental Extremecontact Force were my summer and track tires. I completed 6 track days (A group), 5 autocrosses and numerous Porsche club driving tours. I'm ranked as an A group driver in our PCA HPDE events.
The Extremecontact Force have comparible grip to the Falken RT660 and Dunlap Direzza (ZII and ZIII). These tires had quick turn in and responsiveness as any of the 200tw tires I've had. They also had excellent treadwear life and seemed quieter than the Falkens or Direzzas on the open road. The big drawback is Continetals lack of sizes in 18" & 19". Consequently, I will be switching to a different tire for 2023 with a wider range of sizes (245/35, 275/35).
