Both are new releases (2016 & 2017) with the latest in tire and compound technology.

I have the Indy 500 and they are very good. I'm sure the Continentals are very/equally good too.

Yeah this is what I found when I was recently researching replacement tires for my AP1. I previously had StarSpecs on it and my complaints there were treadwear and ride quality, but I don't put my miles on my s2k. It's a '03 with just over 40k. There is a $70 rebate going for the Continentals and I like what I read about them so I went with them. So far I love them but it's early to give a review. Did some spirited driving up to Palomar Observatory and she felt great.

Plus they look great mounted on the ap1 stock wheels, since they have a more rigid and straight side wall.

that's great to hear! plan on getting these for my next set.
