Before I press buy...

[Alias]

Just about to press the buy button and get some Pirelli Pzero Neros but noticed the continental contact 5's are quite a bit cheaper. Since they replace the conti sport 3 that everyone seemed to love, are they worth a shot?

Also, the cup has 45 profile shoes on at the moment but I'm thinking that they should be 50. Would running 50 on the front and 45 on the rear make any difference (since I'm only replacing the fronts) or should I just stick to 45 all round?

Cheers,

People speak volumes about the conti's on my car, so i guess they will be as good on the clio. Personaly i'd go with the conti's

 

[Jack!]

Where are you buying from? Nearly everywhere I looked back when I replaced my tyres, Conti's were more expensive than Pzero's.

Ignore me, I'm being a t**t!

On Camskill the pirelli's are £71 and the conti contact 2 are £70.80, so guess it just comes down to what is the better tyre. I can't even find the conti 5's now!

I'd go for conti's if they were cheaper, decent tyres and save you a few quid!

 

[Alias]

Or the conti contact 3's are £64.50...

 

[imprezaworks]

I'd still go with conti

What wheels have you got? Go 45 with 16's or 50 with 15's.

On the normal 16 Turini's. Most places seem to show them as needing 45, think it was black circles that said for the reg plate it needed 50's. 45's it is then.

Yeah go 45 mate.
