Default FS: 285/35ZR18 Continental ContiSportContact 3

I have a used pair of 285/35ZR18 Continental ContiSportContact 3 tires. These tires were purchased Sept 2008 and their tire date code is 2607. My car is a weekend pleasure car...There are somewhere between 10K and 15K miles on them. $60, you pick up. I live in Thousand Oaks area.

Tires have never been plugged and have no gouges or lacerations on the sidewalls. Tires also only have street use on them.

Great looking tires and a super great price. Whats the tread rating? I'm tempted to match them up with my NT05's in the rear.......

I looked on the tire sidewall and spotted something that indicates "Treadwear 280"... I hope this is what you're asking about. I also found these specs at Tirerack,

Thanks for your interest, Matt

I'm leary of running mismatched tires. I drive aggressively on the street and they may not grip enough on corners .......... Do you want them Tris?
