Given 94% while driving a Chevrolet aveo (225/45 R17) on mostly town for 40,000 easy going miles
I found this is a good tyre, i have used it for approximately 40000 miles. aspalth roads, the traction is very good, in wet or dry. Change my first front wheels after 2 years. Because some one stab it with a knife or a screwdriver from the side. I think they tend to do a criminal activity. But thankfully the tyre does not explode. I know its pricey and somewhat wear out quite fast, but worth every penny. I feel save traveling with these tyres.

Given 50% while driving a Skoda Octavia vRS (225/40 R18 W) on mostly motorways for 26,000 easy going miles
Dreadful tyre, but that's what the car came with. Worn out in 14K miles on front and 26K miles on rear despite many miles of straight line driving with a correctly aligned car. Once down to 3-4mm become unbearably noisy on the wrong road surface. Wet grip when new was excellent, but so are many other tyres out there. Have changed to PS3's and difference is night and day on this car. Half the wear rate for the same mileage on the front. Could not recommend this CSC2 tyre to anyone.

Only 8000 miles of country lane driving in my 2009 mondeo tdci and the front tyres are on the limit.
Very disappointed at how quickly the tyres wore out.
I won't be buying these again.

Given 79% while driving a BMW 320 (235/35 R19 W) on mostly motorways for 30,000 spirited miles
Had these on the front of a rear wheel drive car so couldn't get a proper feel for them but they performed well on the front. After 30,000 miles they still had 4mm remaining so well impressed but they had to come off due to uneven wear (cars alignment fault, not the tyres). They also developed cracking in the tread but this is most likely due to age of tyres as they were 7 years old when they came off. Whilst on the car I can't fault them, grip was good in all conditions. Discontinued now in this size but I would definitely use Continental tyres again based purely on the grip.

Given 77% while driving a Vauxhall Corsa vxr (225/35 R18) on a combination of roads for 3,000 spirited miles
all in all these were standard on car when purchased new, and i don't under estimate continental as they are a decent tyre manufacturer.

grip: i found with the right tyre pressure for the situation they are a great tyre dry and in the wet, with this it is the same in the corner's.

mileage: decent miles per gallon using the right pressure.

wear:i know they are designed to be a soft sport's tyre, but had these now for a few thousand miles upo and down the motorway along with some spirited driving and i can say the wear on them is minimal.

im going to give the tyre overall 8/10 compared to its rivals.

These tryes are very good in the dry and handle the torque well but do loose grip in the wet not as goods as Michelins the car came with.

Given 63% while driving a Skoda Fabia 1.4TDi (205/45 R16 W) on a combination of roads for 32,000 easy going miles
Came as OE on my Fabia Estate, disappointed only lasted 16k on the front.
Just changed the rears after 32k, down to 3mm, but no trail left on wet roads, so decided it was time for a change.
Seem quite good in the summer but, in snow no grip whatsoever.

Given 44% while driving a Skoda Superb II combi 2.0 tdi cr (225/40 R18 W) on a combination of roads for 2,000 spirited miles
Surely the noisiest tyres on the market. They are the original equipment on my Skoda Superb Elegance DSG Estate and are the fronts at very worn at only 8,500 miles. I find them unacceptably noisy on anything but the smoothest road surfaces and can't wait to change them to either Michelins or Goodyears.
