I have seen very few reviews so far because they are so new but I've just purchased some 19" 225Ms and was either looking at Conti SC3s or 5Ps.

In two minds as price wise they are very similar......

I'd defo go for the 5P, they are s step up from CS3 and only available in limited sizes and have special REAR ONLY versions available, which you need to spec obviously to compliment the fronts.

For 18's, they are not available in the 225/40/18 Msport front size though

There has been a review on here, some guy from europe, do a search.

Vreds for me as said before, outstanding grip in the wet.

I'm interested to hear a review of this new Conti - If the SC and SC2 are anything to go by, I've never heard anyone say they'd choose them again... And that says a lot. The SC3 seems to be quite well received by members here, so possibly Conti are improving?

CSC3 are a whole different ball game from the middling, small car SC and SC2.

And they are one of very few tyres designed specifically for powerful RWD cars.

5P even more so.

I'm currently running on michelin pilot sports RFT, not too keen on the ride quality. I'm considering conti sc3 (£610 fitted for all 4 from event tyres) or even the vredsteins.

What do people suggest as a back up as I dont want a space saver, do these devices that fill the tyre with gunk ruin the tyre? As in can they still be repaired afterwards?

Thanks
