whats on the 172 as as standard is it contisports? on the dynamiques there are Conti Premium contacts these were top in the autoexpress tyre test for 2 years running. Think they were testing for normal tyre sizes 15" etc

YEah, its the ContiSport Contact, REALLY want Goodyear Eagle F1-GSD 3, but finding somewhere to s ell em to me is another matter altogether!!
