Continental Sport Contact 2 or 3 (OEM) Sized Tire Reviews?

When I bought my car it had a set of the Sport Contact 2's in the front and the 3's in the rear. I didn't notice until after months of owning. Service Advisor said that the rear tires were replaced under the CPO process but the front tread was still good. The fact that th 2's are discontinued, they put the 3's in the back.

Do any of you still have the Sport Contact tires and what are your thoughts? I feel as if the tires are noisy at lower speeds and have vibration at higher. I thought it was the drivetrain but when I put it in neutral the noises and vibration still existed.

Also, I kept the same set of wheels and tires from my original CPO E63 (long freaking story) and the same symptoms exist. I kept this set of wheels and tires because the condition of the wheel was better and the other tires were "Nexygen". Some generic brand.

I have them in the front, no vibration or noise or any of that... I love mine though, extremely responsive and they keep traction in sharp turns with snow most of the time
