Continental Sport Contact 2 review

“Finally decided on purchasing the Continental ContiSportContact2 with 255/30/20 front and 305/25/20 rear. Traction has improved but still an issue with the TT setup. Will have to get a spare set of DRs on 18s for the track. The rear wheel is 20x10.5 29mm offset, fenders are cut. Here are some pics.”

“I have these tires on my 2000 Audi S4 and after about 6K miles, there is hardly any sign of wear. The tires handle very nice but not as well as the S-03's. The ride is very quiet and ride comfort is above average. As with all tires, it depends upon the weight of the car and if you regularly rotate the tires. At the rate I am going with these tires on my S4, I might get over 25K on them.”

“You mean from BMW when bought new? Not sure, my car was pre-owned and came with those horrible Continental SC2 RFT's.”

If you're not looking for the ultimate in 10/10ths performance in all honesty I would recommend the Kumho SPTs. Pretty impressive tire and when you factor in the low cost - amazing. I am running them on my S4 for daily summer use and am 100% happy. For the C2S I'm running the Bridgestones for street and R888s for auto-x/track use. I have a set of Kumho SPT's om my M3 and my GTI. These tires are the worst tires I've ever had on my M3. It is so mushy and soft now...almost like a Buick. The GTI fared better but the OEM tires were SC2's and I loved those tires on my GTI. The SPT's on the GTI are soft and mushy but did not destroy the feel as much as they did on the M3. I tried to save a few bucks on tires...you get what you pay for. David”

“I’ve only ever had the SC2 on the rear, SC1 up front. On really hot days I’ve noticed the rear try to step out, not much, but enough to make me turn it down a notch. The SC1’s I understand get greasy in really hot conditions, that’s why I don’t want one on the rear. I also have a lot of anxiety about tires anyway. I’ve toyed around with tire pressure a bit, 28 rear and 34 front seems to work well but I’m not sure if this is because I am starting to brake later and harder. Most of the times I’ve crashed is me using inputs when I shouldn’t or blowing my braking points and using too much input to recover, hoping my shitty riding will be masked with the tires.”

“First. Yes you should change tires showing cord. Cord is not meant to ever touch the road. You will have a blowout if you continue much further on those. Second "sumer all seasons" isn't a thing lol. Maybe you meant a UHP. Which is a all season with slightly more dry road performance focus and handling than a touring all season. If you have any snow or want max tire life. Uhp are a good option. But to get a GT to hook you'll want, to look at summer only tires. Continental sport contact 2 is one of the leaders right now. Very grippy, still very good in the rain, and good life for a summer tire. Finally the mustangs come stock with camber front and rear. They naturally wear the inside of tires out faster”
