Very balanced tyre very good dry grip, extremely good wet grip, very good under hard braking, wears quickly 11,000miles (pushed hard). Fully recommend as all round tyre and great for wet dry track days due to the progressive feel and great feedback.

good tyre but there's got to be better value for money. They perform well, but having just put some falken 912's on, I've realised how noisy they were! Still, close to legal limit on an incredibly wet journey home, they still didn't aeroplane. Very grippy under heavy cornering and wear has been very even.

Very good tyre giving a confident and comfortable drive in wet or dry.
However, not getting more than 12000 miles from fronts. Original CSC2 gave me 22000miles on the front set.

These tyres have worn so quickly. Probably only had about 6000 miles out of them, not very good for such a great brand, would not be going with these again.

I briefly switched to Avon ZV5s which were appalling in comparison, replaced them within 2 weeks.
Are there any better tyres out there for a saab 9-5 estate ? I'm reluctant to even bother trying to find out as I'm very happy with Continental Sports Contact 3's. Although may try the 5's next.
