When I bought my Benz it had 4x conti sportcontact3 255 x 55 R16V's on it.

I got a puncture last week and they were all actually getting a bit low on tread so replaced them all. Local tyre dealer reckoned it was a weird size (?) and could only get me Goodyear Eagle NCT 5's at £130 per corner, fully fitted and balanced etc.

What a mistake-a-to-make-a.

To sum it up, they're s h i t. Wet weather grip is laughable, dry not much better and they squeal like piggies with hot pokers in their arses. They're noisy and i've not noticed any improvement in economy.

Grrrrr.

Steer well clear.
