I am just about to get a S/H Superb 1.8TSi and they are going to put Conti SP 3's, the new one, on the car.

Has anyone had any experience of these yet. Grip? Noise? Comfort? Wear?

I had SP2's on a Focus ST a few years and I only rated them as 'OK'

quite good reviews there, bar the wear rate which seems pretty poor... they wont work in the snow though ...

I hope they're good as i have two brand new ones ready to be fitted.

I have a sport contact 2 tyres x3 and one sport contact 3 :-D the reason is because i got a some screw into my tyre and i couldn't found any garages with contact 2. But now am thinking about to repleace 2 tyres and am looking for Contact 5.... Reviews looks good so we will see...

Any experience with sport contact 5????

Now having had two new CSpContact3's on the front and 3 months use I have found them to be good.

A big improvement on the CS2's I had a few years ago. They are quiet, comfortable and very grippy, certainly much better than the rubbish Dunlop Spoet Maxx GT's fitted to my VRS when new

The continental contact 3's have been on my car for 1.5k miles now after i picked up a puncture on one of my almost worn out vredestein sessanta.

I loved the vredesteins but wanted to go back to a 205/40/17 due to the occasional wheel arch rubbing.

The conti's have been very similar to the vredesteins but have a slightly more accurate steering which is good for fast cornering and boosting confidence.

If you can live with a 215/40/17 the vredestein is a great tyre and sells for a great price!

I replaced a pair of SC2s with the SC3s. Much the same apart from wear - the SC2s were much better. Looking to try the SC5s now myself - anyone fitted?

Just pulled the Sport Contact 2s off the arse end of mine, fine in the dry but not very good in the wet and jolly expensive. I now have Uniroyal Rainsport 2s and they're much better. Up front I've got Vredestein Sportrac 3s which seem good also, but seem to be wearing a bit fast! Sportrac 5 have just come out and I've yet to find out if they'll be avialable in 204/45 R16.

I have SP3's fitted to my car from new - good tyre, good grip, unless its wet and I floor it

I've just had the front pair of sport contact 2's replaced on the Octavia 205 55 16 for £150 fitted, which I thought was a good price. The SC2's coming off had only done 51400 miles and were at about 2-2.5 mm of tread depth.
