Very good for wet roads. Even if its pouring and full of puddles you can handle car and feel safe going 160 km/h. Superb on dry. Totally satisfied.

Fantastic tyres !
My previous ones were a Michelin Primacy HP set, which lasted quite long with average qualities, but then these ones felt really good from the first day. What a change! They offer a much more comfortable ride while on the other hand they also increase the grip.
I've had the opportunity of driving in wet situations and they're even more exceptional. No aquaplaning in the same places I used to have with the old ones even when they were new, and very good and safe behavior on wet curves.
I cannot say about the wear, it's too early for that; of course they're not going to last as long as the Michelins, but I'm not too much concerned about that as for me the ride quality, the comfort, and the safety feeling they provide are my priorities.

Changed SLK and these came as standard fit as against SC3 on old model. Runs quiet and v.good in the dry, but am not feeling the same confidence in the wet yet as against the old SC3, although can correct early through feel and feedback from car. Just covered the first 1000 miles, overall very happy but I don`t think they will be hugely long lasting.

BMW 330 Ci Sport
(255/35 R18 W)
on a combination of roads
for 6,000 spirited miles
I have done 6000miles in a 330ci sport, and they are down to 3mm. No wheel spins or burnouts although the DSC is nearly always off so there may be some wear in the corners. Very good grip but just a bit let down by the wear. They are quiet too, but the tread pattern is a bit boring (not a biggy)All in all, I would say they are mint and would recommend if you can put up with the wear.

Viva la Black Chilli rubber. Excellent grip in dry as one would expect. Great handling in wet. Slightly shorter braking distance. Helps put the power down on the road and I have 250 lb/ft torque at 2,500 RPM. Truly amazing sense of steering. Better fuel ecomony than the CSC2 version. Much better than the CSC2 and CSC3. Well done Conti. When the Michellin PS3 go on my other car I will replace them with the CSC5. Only 12,000 miles so far and 5mm remaining on front and 4mm on rear.

Very good grip with excellent steering feel, comfort and low rolling resistance, along with not over-heated when required, so I think that will last much more than other sports tires.

A great tyre!!! I put these tyres recently and I'm very happy! Excellent in dry grip. I don't taste it yet in wet. Better than the CSC3, which is replacing!!! Very comfortable and quieter! Let you know about the wear later!
