The originals still had 3.0mm after 15000 miles, but as we were going on a Europe road trip I decided to renew them. Good grip in all weathers, we don't use them after end October as I change to Pirelli Sottozero for the cold weather and snow/ice.

Tyres are good in both wet and dry. Only issue the tyres are sold offering rim protection, but the don't have any. Tried sending these back to openo but they wouldn't accept them back. Because I had them fitted to my wheels, and that I should have noticed that there was no rim protection before I fitted them, how ?!!?

Could not get the absolute correct winter tyres for this vehicle at the time of purchase without changing rear wheel size. I usually prefer driving on Continental winter tyres all year, as they provide, for me, the best combination of wear, performance, safety and everything else. Usually not only best for winter driving, but also summer driving during thunderstorms and other inclement weather conditions.

Super tyres, only the rolling noise of the 235s is a bit unpleasant. But otherwise, everything is great.

I had Goodyear Eagle F1 run flat tyres fitted on my car when I bought it new. They were very disappointing, two tyres failed and the support from the manufacturer was poor. After a lot of looking around I decided to buy Continental ContiSportContact™ 5 P. They are excellent in the wet. In fact, at driver training, when I was on the wet skid pan, the trainer said I had to drive 15km/h faster than every other person there (at least 10 other cars) in order for the car to loose traction. They have perfect steering precision and sporty handling and short braking distances on both wet and dry roads.I would recommend Continental ContiSportContact™ 5 P very highly particularly for country roads. First thing I noticed on purchase vs the Good Year was dramatically less road noise, more comfort, not as hard over bumps, on starting off the tyre would grip the road (dry or wet) and would not spin (even on dry roads the Good Year would lose traction on starting off), and better stopping. They feel much better around corners and the wet than the Good Year tyres. I have done the same number of kms in comparison to when the Goodyear failed (two tyres developed side wall fractures and a bubble formed) and there is plenty of tread and km's left. Still 20,000 later, they are less noisy, more comfortable, better grip than the previouse tyres I had fitted. Not to mention much cheaper. Some say the better grip in the wet means less wear so far I have not seen this at at 20,000km, there will definitely be OK to 30,000 and I would say at least. They have perfect steering precision and sporty handling and short braking distances on both wet and dry roads.I would recommend this tyre very highly particularly for country roads.

Very grippy tyres. For cars with a lot of power, definitely worth considering buying.

I am delighted with these tyres, on dry roads, on straights and in bends the car drives like a sticky. In the wet the water evacuation is very good, no slipping.
