And my Contis arrived today plastic wrapped by DPD direct from Germany! Look really nice and will be on in the morning 😁

It'd be very helpful if you would let us know how you get on with the Continentals. My Pirellis are not a million miles off replacement.

I'd be interested to know what you think of the 235 over the 225, since they're cheaper than the 225 and offer more protection.

Same here. Very interested on your views in due course.

Contis fitted today and started raining but only a short trip of 1 mile from fitting to work. Also found that one of my alloys has a small crack so that will get welded next week 🙄

I’d be interested to see too how they handle, although I still have PS4S on the back end with about 3.5mm on so in the next 2 months will replace.  Front end grip will be great and back end has a tendency to keep going straight in a fast corner so without a new full set on might be hard to see a massive difference but if all reviews are to be believed then they should be good.

I can’t comment on the difference between 225 and 235 as I’ve never had 225 or 18’s fitted. Always been 19’s.

So I popped back in with a work vehicle and funnily enough the Conti Rep had been in and when asked why I got tyres online and he as a tyre company couldn't the rep just shrugged and said none in the country and just so happens to be some somewhere in Europe!

The SC7 I bought online I looked again and they are £2 cheaper and have a voucher code now making them £141 each! Going to buy two more and leave in shed until the old PS4 are worn enough, which will be a few months.

Those that want PS4s still https://www.mytyres.co.uk/rshop/tyre/Michelin/Pilot-Sport-4S/235-35-ZR19--91Y--XL-DT1/R-380160 look for the 5% off code too, currently £164.39 free shipping but why would you if SC7 so much cheaper and have better reviews and ratings!  and the 19's in 225...very expensive https://www.mytyres.co.uk/rshop/tyre/Michelin/Pilot-Sport-4S/225-35-ZR19--88Y--XL/R-339146 compared to SC7 https://www.mytyres.co.uk/rshop/tyre/Continental/SportContact-7/225-35-ZR19--88Y--XL/D-125191

So far so good. Road noise actually seems quieter, when in coast mode and windows open it’s sound very quiet. Ragging a bit in the dry so far nice and grippy. Main thing not been able to try for which they are highly rated for is the wet, not rained since had them fitted lol
