Shame my rear CS3s have so much tread left, really

Annoying

He's deeply jealous and annoyed that he can't get Continental SportContact 5s in his size, so I thought I'd rub it in a little.

Out of interest how do these rate vs the Asymmetric 2's? My rear tyres are ready for changing (thank god).

Howard · 15 Nov 2011 at 13:13

I'd say they're probably on par with each other, although that's just an educated guess based on what I've read etc. I'll post my findings on how they compare to the old CS3s once they're scrubbed in a bit. Being the front tyres on a FWD car if there's a difference it should be detectable, even though the rears are still CS3s.

Cheers, i was under the impression it would be much of a muchness, been keen to try the CS3's for a while so this could be the perfect time to jump onboard and go straight to the 5's.

Could have at least cleaned your wheels

I drove from the office, 2 miles down the road to the tyre place, then back to the office. Didn't get much of a chance to wash it or test out the grip.

No Hovis either. I'm disappointed

It is indeed a sad day on the motors forum when one starts to show off their new rubber, in a dedicated thread and gets others excited about it

I thought mumsnet was bad enough.

Nah if this was Mumsnet I'd be asking where's the best place to get some Ceat Spiders fitted to my Renault Megane Scenic.

IAmATeaf · 15 Nov 2011 at 14:44

What size and how much were they?

Howard · 15 Nov 2011 at 14:46

225/40/18, £150 each

Firestar_3x · 15 Nov 2011 at 14:46

That fitted?
