Continental Sport Contact

drive only on track days. good grip when hot.Stiff side ways.
On wet is not verry good- hard compound.

Absolute rubbish for wear, Had 4 sets in 40,000 miles.

17500 miles out of this front set so far and still a few to go. Will probably change before winter sets in properly. 17000 also out of the original fit sport contact 2's but I have preferred the recent set better. the rears are still original fit and have 5mm of tread after a total of 34500 miles, cant really complain at that!

These were original fitment to my Fiesta and have been a joy to drive in both wet and dry on main and twisty country roads; also reasonably capable in slush and snow. Great grip and steering feel matches the Fiesta well, pinning ears to side windows on demand! Cannot comment on how they fare with great power, but am happy with 42k miles (down to 2mm); swapped mid-life front to back. Maintained their grip over the 2years that it has taken me to wear them out, but with an expected deterioration in outer-lane standing-water performance after they dropped below 4mm. So dissatisfied with them that I have bought another set!

Great Tyres! The wear is excellent, been on the rear of my car since new covering 47,000 miles! Great grip both dry and wet even down to 2mm! Would buy again, but i am going to go for Toyo T1R all round instead.

I had these in directional asymetric and the newer 'non' version
prob 10 tyres in all, the old style directional were astonishing, my RS Mondeo was handling better than any other time, grip but no slip!
the newer types were not a patch on them, they were only V.good not incredible, they suited my car well, and made me seem a better driver (and safer to boot), a slight chirp on hard acceleration spin....

Driven 46,00 kms on these in Australia over two years. Cannot believe how good the wear has been. Good grip and cornering,although lacking a little from a dry start(the price you pay for the wear) Excellent cornering abilities

Nice when new and middle aged. Good feel but quite noise-affected by road surface - but that applies to many makes.
As they got older (but not worn out) they lost their feel.
I just have 2 little moans; 1. Worn out after 10K of easy/mixed driving. 2. Rubber perishing/cracking in tread, I've never seen that before.
On the whole pretty good until they got old.

honest and trustworthy N1 tyres, why risk anything less?

These tyres were the OEM originals that came with the ST170. I found dry weather grip to be very good although not as good as later tyres such as Pilot Sport's. Wet weather performance seemed fine when I first got the car but dipped substantially when tread depth reached about 4mm. At this point understeer was often sharp and extreme compared to earlier performance. On the road the tyres were very quiet and comfortable. Wear was excellent, cant complain about 30000 miles of pretty hard driving.
