Tyres

[jazzyjeff]

Hello, when I bought my car I noticed that it had Continental Sport Contact 3s all round.

I understand from reading around that preference is to either keep to the standard fitment Pirelli P-Zeros or instead move to the Michelin Pilot Super Sports that are fitted to the 400.

The rears are now on the cusp of requiring replacing. My options therefore appear to be as follows -

1) Replace with Contact 3s (possibly with a view to replacing all four with another tyre when they wear down again),
2) Replace with Michelins, then change the fronts for Michelin when they wear down.
3) Replace with Pirellis, then change the fronts for Michelin when they wear down

The question is, which of the above will give me the best wear/handling compromise? Are Continentals good enough just to continue using going forward, or were they a bad choice by the previous owner?

Any advice welcome

Thanks

Thanks for the input, guys :-)

My car is an LE, if that helps.

It sounds though that the Michelin is the smart way to go.
