I'd have to try out the Continental SportContact 2. I read some good reviews, but my experience with the original SportContacts was bad enough that there's no way I'd buy them without trying them out first. They had good traction on dry pavement but they REALLY sucked on wet pavement. They were also really noisy.

pirellis P7000 Sportsports are only average at best. those were the first set of tires i had and i tore thru them pretty fast. grip is not as good as s-03.

i have P7000 now also, but i drove my friends SC430 with SO-3 on it feel much better than P7000. I also read magz at Taiwan they said CSC2 is pretty good too. I m confuse which one to get now.

anyone want to buy Michline XGT Z4 245/45-18 ???? i only use it for less than 100km, pm me thanx

I'm looking for front tires to buy.. I know mixing brands is not good at all, but I guess i have to do it till my rears wear out.

I can get the P7000s for $135 now, but I would like to try something diffrent.

should I go with SO3s? any other suggests? I'm also in the same boat!
