Continental Sport Contact 2 Reviews

Factory fitted from new. Excellent in all respects except wear. Wear is appalling for a premium tyre. Fronts are worn evenly down to the legal limit and need replacing at 2year service after only 24000 miles. Rears wearing better, should last to 40,000miles. Trying Pirelli P7's next.

Tyres were fitted to my vehicle new from the factory. 22000 km of mainly highway driving and they are needing replacement. Would expect better wear from a premium tyre.

Supplied with my car from new. Very poor wear only having covered 12500 miles and fronts worn to legal limit! I don't drive fast and only mainly used for town journeys. Also quite noisy at speed. In my opinion very expensive for such high wear rate. Good points are that they are very grippy in both wet and dry and give you confidence when driving. I am seriously considering changing for another make as can't face spending this much for so little miles!

Fronts are around 3mm and the rears still have a plenty of wear remaining after around 15k miles. Tyres came OEM with brand new car. The fronts have worn out a lot in the last 5k miles. Dry grip is good but braking is dangeous when the car is fully loaded. The rear loses grip in the wet if cornering a little faster and fronts can too at roundabouts in wet conditions when the fronts are low. Over all its an ok tyre but not the best.

Very noisy,poor mileage- worn out fronts after 17,000 miles (not hammered at all - normal day to day driving), will not be buying these again.

Best tyres I ever drive. Excellent grip on wet and dry conditions even when them were push to the limit.
Before I had Fulda Progresso (with this I've bayed the car)- this tyres was a nightmare on wet road, them performed like on ice; I had a little accident because of them a little scratch on left front wing because I didn't manage to stop the car on time on wet road at 40km/h.
When I fitted the Continental ContiSport 2 on my car -> huge difference on driving and I manage to regain confidence in my car&brakes.
Next tyres set will be Continental Sport Contact 5.

Very noisy but compensates for the great traction in the dry and wet.

Replacements for two Michelin Primacy HP front tyres. Far quieter and better grip in the wet than the Michelins, but don't appear to be wearing as well.

I am not overimpressed with their summer performance either.
I have covered 15k miles, not mostly urban and A roads, the fronts are virtually down to the wear bars.
