The Sport Contact 6 are the manufacturer mounted tyres for the Civic Type R FK8. After about 20000km on them, mostly motorway and city streets, they still have pleanty of thread depth remaining. I haven't taken them on track nor did I drive very fast. Rarely above 130km/h. But even above that speed, grip levels are great and the wear is okay. They tend to melt on the sides a little.
Wet grip is good, though aquaplaning is quickly noticeable at 80km/h and above. Deep puddles feel like a parachute opening behind the car, pulling you backwards.
Cornering is great at normal speeds, both wet and dry. At low temperatures, they slip a little and need some time to warm up. Above 15C, they are good to go off the bat.
You can feel every little bump and stone in 245/30 and you shouldn't take them on unpaved roads.
