Just had 2x Conti Sport Contact 3's fitted to mine. So far so good, grip seems ok. Not sure they would last 12k miles though  :smiley:

i got a few quotes cheapest i found was 137 a corner fitted, the place i used matched it and on the invoice it says 255 each then price matched! they are more than most tyres but well worth it, im expecting them to last really well too  :smiley:
