Contisport contact 5P

[billh]

Bought my Leon ST FR184 in November but had some winter tyres from previous Leon fitted - Bridgestone Blizzacks. Fitted the OE contact sport 5s on Tuesday and have just done a 600 mile round trip on them. Christ but they're noisy!

 

[G.P]

I've done a couple of hundred miles on them so far and they're leagues ahead of the Bridgestones already.

Which Brigdestones?

 

[JF77]

£300 for two at kwik fit of all places!
£330 at ETS tyres with a £50 petrol card.

I've now driven on the PSS in warm & dry, wet and cold & damp (4°) conditions and it has performed brilliantly. I get the odd flicker of TC light, but no wheel hop or noticeable wheelspin anymore.

 

[Snah]

Yes, these Pss-es are a very good tire and grip level is way better than the stock Bridgestones.
Last ones are getting really bad after they get down below 4 mm of thread on wet.

Hopefully I won't get told off for copyright infringement, but here's Car magazine's take on Cupra tyres:

Why? What toyos did you use?

 

[Ocularis]

I used to run toyos, they were great on my mr2 really progressive grip and perfect for "getting the back end out"... were ok on the scooby but not great. PSS seems to be the way to go, although F1's are pretty cheap atm.

 

[bladerider666]

The new toyo proxes sports are decent, I only pay trade for my tyres anyway.,mate owns a garage..

 

[JF77]

Thanks for that just what i needed. Tyres being fitted Friday.

RE050, the OEM tyre for the Cupra and Golf R.

 

[G.P]

T1-R, Very poor wet grip, aquaplaned whenever it felt like it and sidewalls just way to soft to feel in control. All that said, still plenty of worse out there you could buy..

Kwik Fit were also good on price but they didnt do the fuel card offer.
