I use these tyre because they were recommended by Schnitzer, the producer of the 22 in wheels that I run on this car. These particular tyres (295) are for the fronts and I am using the 335 version on the rears. I have never had a problem and have always found their grip to be excellent in all conditions . I have no hesitation in recommending them.

I have 19 inch wheels with a 30 or 35 aspect ratio; obviously there isn't much space for flex in the tyre wall but fitting these tyres has transformed the ride and handling of my car. I'm now have more confidence when pushing the car because of the feedback that the tyres provide, a league above the run flats that I had before. The grip is excellent with a progressive breakaway at the rear when driving spiritedly. This is the fourth set of Continentals that I've fitted to my car and since doing so I haven't felt the need to look at anything else. My car is quieter, more comfortable and faster around corners as a direct result of replacing my Bridgestone run flats with the ContiSports.

Fabulous grip in the wet and dry, have tried to lose the car on bends but they wont have it.Sidewall is just right...not too stiff ie bridgestones, and not too soft like goodyears and michelins. Feel very safe with these on.Thought the 5p was good but these are so much grippier.

A revelation on the route! There is no difference if you drive at 100km / or 200km / - the tyres behave identically :) on wet roads 160km / h and continue to ride confidently. Emergency braking on dry roads also without reservations. I really recommend these tyres!

Excellent dry/wet performance in terms of traction, braking and steering. Low aspect ratio means they don't absorb bumps well but this is to be expected, they are not comfort tyres. The only negative of the tyres is they wear very quickly. I got less than 9K miles on my Honda Civic Type R.
