Anyone got a link to a proper mag tyre test where these are back-to-backed against stuff like the Conti 5SC, GY G1s, new Yokos, Pirelli PZero etc?
http://www.caranddriver.com/comparisons/monsters-o...2012 so a bit dated however I think the majority of the tyres tested are still available.
Anyone know what European market version the Conti Extreme Contact DW relate to?
The Yokos look a good bet for dry use too
Sounds like it's too late just to inform OP about to make choices - the Continental Sport Contact 6 is now officially launched.
Tyres due into the UK in certain sizes 19 inch upwards in mid-October according the Conti UK.
I've been trying to decide between the Conti SC6 and Michelin PSS and figure the Conti might be better for road usage/wet conditions.

Porsche owners might be interested to know that SportContact 6 will be N0 rated by Porsche for various older cars (997, 987). A bloke who works at Continental said so after Nürburgring WEC. The cars from the launch event make me think he's right. The press release also says "approval expected from notable vehicle manufacturers; The new super sports tire is particularly suited to pure sports cars such as the Audi R8 or Porsche 911".
If true these will likely be the UHP tyres to get if you need the N-rating for warranty.
If the SC 5P is almost as good as the MPSS in the dry, surely the SC6 will be a lot better than the 10 year old PS2.

I hope one of the mags gets the MPSS tested against the current top tyres soon - it would be interesting to see where they all excel Tyres due into the UK in certain sizes 19 inch upwards in mid-October according the Conti UK.

The new Continental Sport Contact 6 is rather lovely too.

...as tested on a lardy, high powered, big-wheeled BMW M4.
How does that translate to OP's 328?
Unless he tests them all himself we'll never know !How does that translate to OP's 328?
Personally though, I, like Jon- , quite like reading them and have a bit more faith in data like that than someone comparing a new set of MPSS to a worn out set of GY F1s from 2 years back
It's quite an expenditure to buy a brand new set of tyres so I like to try and read up a bit before I spend £500 plus

Has anyone been running the SportContact 6 for any period of time to form an opinion?
I'm looking to take off the winters shortly and trying to decide between them and the Michelin PSS.
Cheers

How long can you wait? I've a set of Super Sports and a set of Sport Contact 6's on their way to me, it will be at least few weeks before I've driven on them both enough to form an initial impression.I'm looking to take off the winters shortly and trying to decide between them and the Michelin PSS.
Cheers

I'm very excited to do the comparison, I feel they'll be closer than everyone imagines.
