Holly Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 Has anybody had any experience / know of reviews of them? There's quite a good deal on at the moment so would be interested in any feedback. Thanks, Jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyotasuprauk Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 I've got them at the front of a NA they replaced Avon ZZ3's and felt much better but its a bit of an unfair test going from used to new. Overall I would say they are good but I would need some on the rears to give a full review. Search google thats what I did and there are several reviews.

Holly Posted April 20, 2005 Author Share Posted April 20, 2005 well.. there standard fit tyres to porka's - cant be too shabby then. According to another review, they're fitted to some Mercedes & BMWs, so you're right, can't be too bad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbeh Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 I dunno, but Continentals have always been near budget tyre compared to the usual brands recommended on this board. I think they are harder compound rather than a sporty tyre. How do they compare to the Eagle F1's GSD3's for example, with regards to price?

Green Peace Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 I swear by Continentals..I have had them for the last 4 or so years...One of the things I noticed was there was no tramlining, and they lasted longer than Michelin Pilots. TBH They are a good brand...and I find them better than Pilots..its like Nike trainers...they are most expensive but they fall apart in 2 months...where as Hi-Tec last longer and are a Fraction of the price....(but dont buy Hi-Tec coz you will get the piss taken out of you lol)..buy Acupuncture...no-one has a catagory fot those and they are miles better lol. so here we go... Michelen = Nike Too Expensive and crap anyhow) Avon = Hi-Tec (Too cheap..people will think you Sign On) Continentals = Acupuncture...(The Clever Persons Choice) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveN Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 I had conti sports fitted to a Porsche 968CS track car and I found them very predictable once warmed up, fitted them to the Supe and find them to be very confidence inspiring, as on the Porker. I tried Goodyear F1 which took a while to get used to as they had a more rounded edge to the profile that gave the feeling of letting go and catching, where the conti's stick then let go, but with more predicability. As the conti are a flatter profile, you do get some increased aqua planeing, but driving hard in the rain - I try to avoid that ! I will now always stick to conti sports (original or contact 2) , I guess you get used to the feel of a certain tyre and stick to it. I rate them.

Ian C Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 I just checked on mytyres.co.uk for 265*35*ZR18 tyres and Continental SportContact2 are actually the most expensive tyre they offer! -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 I believe Continental are the only company to have a tyre on general release rated to 220+mph... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 Thanks for the info - Kwik-Fit are doing 25% off a set of 4 (or 15% off 2) and as we need 4, it brings them down to the same as I can get Eagle F1s for from Elite. The bonus with Kwik-Fit is that they will do mobile fitting for an extra £20 and I'm so short of time at the moment that I'll probably go fo it.
