Continental TrueContact Tires

After reading I don't know how many reviews on these tires in a P195/60/15 size, I can tell you that I lost mileage when they were at 44psi. Since they are brand new, I pumped the pressure on up to 60psi and so far they coast very well based on what I was used to with the worn out tires that I took off, I have zero-toe alignment and I am happy so far with the tires. When I had the old tires, my basic SE cloth (non-sporty) seats would out-handle the tires, meaning I had to slow way down for sharp turns so I would slide off the road. And now that I have these new tires, I can take turns at speeds I wouldn't have dreamed of before, with a 90K treadlife estimate, I hope to get 60K out of them based on where I have to travel just to get home (over 3 miles of bumpy as hell country roads, some paved, some not). Only time will tell as I have only put 2500 miles on them and they are amazing as chocolate cake to a fat kit!
