I thought I'd post this up on the Octavia forum as I reasoned these tyres are more likely to have been fitted to a VRS

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

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

I had SC2's on a Focus ST a few years and I only rated them as 'OK'

A very good tyre, won several tyre tests when launched last year although this years tests put the GY assymetric2 ahead.

I had a set on my vRS until 1st Nov (when I fitted my winters) replacing the factory supplied CSC2s. The CSC3 is a better tyre all round, grippy, wears well, rode better, much more resistant to aquaplaning vs. the 2s. With a rotation mid-way I got about 28k miles out of them. Significant drop off in grip below 3mm but I also had that with the last set of Goodyears I had on my GTI (Assymetric 1s) so i don't think this is unusual.

HTH.

I had CSC2's on my car when it was delivered and was impressed with them - fronts replaced with CSC3's as the 2's were no longer available (done 28k miles on the fronts, now at 38k miles and the rears still have some life in them - about 3.5mm).

As I've not put any other makes on the car it's hard to say about noise/ grip/ comfort, apart from all seem good to me. The wear is what I would expect from a top tyre (25-30k on the fronts).

Got them on my vrs and they are a good all round tyre.

They can be a little noisey when the road surface is a little rough but so far i,ve done 5000 miles on them and they show little sign of wear.
