Come as standard on the car and i'll never put anything else back on it. Fantastic dry grip and more than enough wet grip, 2 years down the road and still more than half the tread left, very durable.

My 197 Cup came with ContiSport 3 tyres as standard in 215/45/17 and they felt well matched to the car. Once they needed replacing I decided to buy the same ContiSport 3 tyres but in 225/45/17. There was a marked improvement in terms of grip limit in the dry but with less progressive breakaway, it was more sudden but still occurred with reasonable warning. Everything else felt the same as the 215/45/17's in regards to wet handling, cold conditions and feedback. Personally the car should have come with 225/45/17's from factory.
I then decided to switch to Vredstien Ultrac Sessants's in 225/45/17. In comparison to the Conti 3's above the Vreds have more grip in cold, warm and wet conditions, much better sidewall response under cornering, (the Conti 3 sidewalls are on the soft side) better feedback, less wear, less rolling resistance and less noise on motorways.
So in conclusion the Vreds are marginally better in all areas than the Conti 3's, not by a large amount but definitely better. In regards to the sidewalls though the Vreds are MUCH better. I'll probably buy them again due to the fact they're slightly cheaper than the ContiSport 3's.
