Driving on a combination of roads for 40000 spirited miles
I brought this tyre after having the standard fitted contact sports. The change in every aspect of the drive changed dramtically from Life time (about 15 - 20000 miles of very agressive driving) to the amount of grip they offerd. When the tyres had bedded in after a few hundred miles i found the grip astonishing. As i found / still experiencing, very competative speed thru corners, as of the likes of Calibra turbos, clio cups i even managed to takeover an s2000 round a series of round abouts, obviously he destoryed me in a stright line.

In all Iv found this tyre to be very consistant wet and dry, predictable at the limit, awsome grip and great value for money!

Next tyres im having are Uniroyle rainsports 2, hopefully there better but i was very reluctant to move from these.

I thought these tyres where amazing.

They allowed me to brake later, harder and carry more speed through corners and corner tighter. The grip from a standing start was amazing.
They corrected a lot of understeer and gave more feedback.

Road noise wasnt a problem for me.

They easily out perform the likes of Yoko Parada and Toyo Proxees.

Excellent budget tyre. Seemed very noisy at first, but after 2-3000 miles quietened down considerably. Seem to be wearing a bit quicker than the original Firestones that did 40k miles on the front! That high mileage was mostly steady motorway driving but I do still explore handling charactaristics from time to time too!

Writing about the Continental Eco Contact 3 given 70% (175-65-14-T)
Driving on mostly country roads for 10000 easy going miles
Had a pair of these on the rear for the last few thousand miles. Overall they seem to be a pretty decent tyre. They wear very slowly, and aren't too noisy or uncomfortable.

Previously had Bridgestone B391s, which I still have on the front. The biggest difference is absolute traction. The back end will now come begin to come around under weight transfer, whereas the B391s remained planted even when worn.

For economy they are a good choice, but I would avoid putting them on the front because I don't feel the braking and cornering ability is enough for my liking. Only on the odd spirited drive or an emergency stop would it make much difference though.

Having said that, they are perfectly fine if you want a decent tyre and wont be pushing them at any point.

Came as OEM on my 08 FIESTA TITANIUM. Good dry and wet weather grip. Quiet but not that comfy. After 25000, the casing is starting to become very noisy. Sounds like glue is coming loose. Continental South Africa will be doing inspection. Probably a faulty batch. Am buying Michelin Exalto in a few days time.

Driving on mostly motorways for 5000 spirited miles
Far too noisy on less than perfect surfaces, especially on the motorway at 70mph, they're an absolute nightmare. Grip in the dry is quite impressive, they're ok in the wet too, but in the UK so many roads have worn out surfaces and the road noise shoots up to epic proportions with these tyres.
