197 Owners Help!

[daverichmond1]

Was just wondering what you all think of the OEM Continental Sport Contact 3's which come on your cars?

My Megane R26 is requiring some new fronts and I was wondering how you guys have got on with the tyre?

I love the Michelin Pilot Sport 2's which were standard fit to my Megane, but I might be able to get a good deal on the Continentals, so any comments are welcome regarding the Continentals!

Thanks for your help,

Dave

Owned the car for nearly a week and havent really given it a lot of stick but going round the roundabouts it did seem very grippy, not sure if anyone else can offer a little more help mate.

I've clocked up 3.5 k on my tyres now, they seem to be wearing well on the back, and acceptable on the front. From my previous 172 though, I ditched the continentals as the tyre walls are to thin and they dont overhang the rim like other makes such as Uniroyal. It would have to be a real steal for me to replace like for like, but in answer I suppose to your original question......no problems with the contact 3 tyres, car not broken away in wet, although I wouldnt run them at the suggested psi or they just spin.I just dont rate the brand.
