Tyres are for 2-3 years only, even if you don't drive a lot. I'd buy something else next time though all my summer tyres were continental before.

£444 for a set of 4 from Kwik Fit. OEM was Bridgestone, I got 35k miles from them.

18 months and 18k miles later on the Conti's and I'm down to the wear limit (but I do get good fuel economy).

I'm not a sporty driver - most miles are on Motorways so the tyres are inflated to the stated max (41psi)

Got a blister on the front nearside tyre after 15k....that came out of nowhere. No scuffing on the tyre.

Mine are about three years old. The tread depth is OK but they show bad cracking at the sides. I wouldn't buy them again.

Contact 2 are an expensive over rated & priced summer tyre, that wears out very quickly.

OK dry road holding. OK wet road holding. Very poor tread wear for the cash spent.

Extremely poor for winter use.

Had over 25,000Kms on them and is ready to replace why ?

- The handling is bad, it can't run on a straight line. It drifts to the left even after computerized allignment

- Wear is not even

- Very noisy

- The rubber compound is hard and you can feel all bumps and stuff

- Grip on dry is below average, on Wet is bad - no grip

- After 10,000Kms, the tires has very visible cracks around the side wall

Don't buy these tires, it shouldnt be on the market at all.

I have now replaced FIVE Contisport C3 tyres due to bubbles appearing in the sidewalls. All of these tyres have had to be replaced long before they have worn out, due to bubbles appearing in the sidewalls.

The bubbles are very soft and can be pushed in easily with your finger. They have varied from the size of a large marble, to one about the size of half a golf ball!

I've searched the internet and this seems a common problem for these tyres.

Dangerous! - No more Contisport for me!

Outstanding! Replaced all 4 tyres after 30k miles! Grip is excellent but very expensive at approx £250 each!

4200 miles and they are done. awful wearing tyre handling is Good but £210 pound for tyres that last 4200 miles is a joke

7 tyres at £150 a pop in under 2 years. Only driven locally (city driving) and driven sensibly too. Absolutely aweful
