Continental Sport Contact 3

As most other comments a really good tyre but expect it to wear down. I corner pretty hard and let fly, so not bad wear all in all. Very nice handling

Great tyre in the dry and wet but they are almost worn out after 7000 miles. would buy again for grip but not for wear

Definitly good tires, but I had Tyfoon succesor 2 before, and CSC3 are miles ahead on handling and road feedback.
My biggest concern is the wear, as these tires are expensive, but at this time I would have to say, I would definitly but these again.

Until now I religiously stuck to Pirellis on my X-type. Firstly the hideously expensive (certainly in S Africa) P-Zero Assymetrico's then, more recently. the P Zero Rosso. As they wore the car's already pronounced understeer got worse, road noise and comfort were diabolical and I experienced severe tramlining. I needed new tyres and the Conti's were on a special. Well, what an improvement. The car is amazingly quiet and far more comfortable. Understeer is still there but far more manageable and the tramlining is now a thing of the past. So far I have done only 2000km so cannot comment on the wear. Also I have not really pushed the car to the "limit" but I feel confident they would be up to scratch.

one of the best summer tires out there along with goodyear F1 asymmetric and michelin ps2.
pricing is steep though.

I've found this to be an outstanding all rounder in all weathers. Wet behaviour is outstanding for a tyre not advertised as a wet performer, it resists aquaplaning brilliantly and I've driven it in some torrential conditions. For a performance tyre, noise is well contained and comfort is fine, firm but comfortable. Where it really scores is rolling resistance, very important on a daily runner; it's much better at stretching the mpg than any other tyre I've tried. It's very grippy in the dry as well, there are better but not with the SCS3's wet abilities. Wear is good providing you drive seasonably sensibly, I got 23,000 out of mine but you will get far less if you drive with exuberance! Expensive, yes, but worth every penny!

I've got a Toyota Chaser which is basically a baby supra putting out just over 200 rwkw. Going from Nankang which is well known for being the tyre you put on just before selling your car I paid more then double the price and expected more then double the grip. In the dry there is noticeably more grip. The car is used mixed driving including track work. Goes around the corners really well impressed by it. Where this tyre struggles is under hard acceleration especially in the wet. Going around the corners is fine as long as you are careful with the throttle. Actually goes really quick around the corners and the tyres stick. Make the road wet and you can't do anything except baby the throttle. They are no better then the cheap tyre seriously. And giving it some stick in the dry in first can spin the wheels so although slightly better then the cheap tyres not worth the extra bucks and the excessive wear. For my car (rear wheel drive with lots of pwr) this doesn't seem to be a good choice of tyre. Was recommended the tyre by AWD with big pwr and the tyre does seem to grip like crazy since the pwr is distributed around. Will try the goodyear f1s next.

Ok tyre...but my rears need changing before the fronts...got them priced... expensive....got them changed Vredestein ultras...

Just had to replace my front tyres after 45000 miles. deeply impressed.
