Hi guys,
I get a good deal on Continentals so am likely to go for these as summer road tyres - before I hit the button does anyone have any good/bad experiences with them? Cheers!

Only on my missus's Suzuki SX4. She was forever spinning its front wheels on anything that resembled a damp road even though there was loads of tread if she used anything other than a very gentle right foot.
Cant say we were impressed with the grip

I looked at these for another car,(different size) and noticed the tread depth new was only 5mm  as opposed to all others that were 7mm. This may not be the case with the size you want..... I didn't choose them because i don't believe they will last long at all IMHO. D3 owned from new, P017 brake recall, BAS FBHIC, new FBH, LR013487 oil pump, new water pump. RRS front lower suspension arms. New suspension compressor/ relay. New Denso alternator. CuNifer rear brake pipes. New GKN rear propshaft. New HPFP belt & tensioner.

Not promising! Thanks guys. Maybe I'll go for the CrossContact LX2 instead which are supposed to be 80/20 on/off road.
