New Street/Track tyre coming in 997 GT3 sizes

[NBTBRV8]

I see that Continental is (or has?) releasing a new tyre for street and track duty, the ContiForceContact. I am interested to see how these compare to the Dunlop Sport Maxx Race, as there is very little in this segment (other that Corsa System) before you start going more hard core ala Pilot Sport Cups/ R888s.

I have no affiliation with Continental, just pleased to see another tyre for the segment.


Edit: Looks like it has been out for a while and I am behind the times! Just not heard anybody talk about it.

According to the Sport Auto test, the Continentals came out as the best tyre overall, largely because of their wet capability (the best of a bad bunch in the wet).

Thank for this - I wonder if the new Cup 2's are going to be better in the wet than the CFC or if (as am in the UK not a beautiful sunny clime like OZ!) I should just plump for the MSS's instead as they are a known quantity... decisions decisions!

Well I am in Oz and as it is my daily drive with track days every couple of months I am looking for the best compromise with a bias towards the track. I will see if I can get the CFC here.

On my fourth set of the Continentals, much better in the wet/ cold than sport cups, for me as good in the dry.

How have you found them in the wet in normal driving but with standing or running water?

Not used super sports on my RS, but good on track in the wet not really used in standing water. Surprisingly good when very cold compared to sport cups, progressive too in the dry, feel quite sticky. For me brilliant!

Lastly sorry, I forgot to ask, as you've had a few sets how many miles are you getting out of them?

Thanks
