Continental SportContact 5.

Just thought I'd mention that the CS5 has now been released. The official line is "Extends the ContiSportContact5P into the mainstream, popular UHP category". The CS5 is available from 205 and 17" up to 19" where the 5P takes over. Official site here.

Probably won't matter much as I guess most people will be trying the Asymmetric 2s after the good reviews so far.

No 3 series M Sport size? Seriously?!

What size is that? There probably is, the official blurb says the 5P is only available from 19" up and I know there are 18" 5Ps available.

That is a 5P size. The 5 has been brought out to fill the lower tyre size gap left when the 5P was released. Its a soft launch apparently with no fanfair and the CS3 will be phased out.

[QUOTE='[TW]Whats the difference between 5 and 5P?[/QUOTE]

No difference apart from available sizes I don't think. I have some pretty good pdfs on them, if you want them i'll get Wicksta to send them on. I'm ordering some 5Ps later this month and moving away from runflats so it'll be interesting to see how the car drives after.
