The ECS2 are a revised version of their predecessor but Continental improved the dry grip while still maintaining wet grip, on average, they outpaced their Michelin rival. Ride was the quietest out of all its contenders on the "Endurance 200TW". They may need a little extra to get up to heat, but the numbers plus the price ($700) after rebates, was too good to overlook.



I think I must improve on my driving before I start getting serious and competing in a proper class, instead of almost cheating my way out of novice class with tires that will mask my mistakes.
Start racing enough and you will be tire shopping yearly anyway so it doesn't matter much LOL

TR lists those tires as 340TW by the way so its just like the PS4 in that regard.

Keep us posted on your driving and those new tires
