Put these Continentals on to replace a set of Michelin Pilot Super Sports (the original type fitted to the car from the factory). Admittedly the fronts were getting close to 6 years old, the rears 3, and there is a decade difference in tyre technology, but the difference is night and day. She rides better, grips better, and the whole car feels so much more compliant and less snappy. I would thoroughly recommend the Sport Contact 7 and it certainly deserves all the rewards it has won.

They offer reassuring grip in the wet. Much better than the Dunlop tyres I replaced. Road noise is not too bad considering the size of the tyres. I have mapped 3,0 V6 TDI, these tyres are more than up to the job.

Performance in any condition is fine. The issue is 3 out of 4 tyres have cuts to the cords or punctured and need replacing!!! NOT IMPRESSED!!! I live in Buckinghamshire and drive M40/M25 quite a lot, so not a farm track!! Very disappointed.

Grip superbly, very quiet, they seem soft and bump absorbing tyres for low profile, which is a great thing. Great in the wet. Total thumbs up, but let’s see how many miles they last…🤔

Oh the irony to get this feedback email one year on! Look I maybe the most unlucky person alive! But all of these tyre bar one have, punctured or received a cut to the thread! So, I had to repair with tyre weld and hope they’d last a few more months and they did, and got replaced YESTERDAY!!!! I can’t say that’s good value, or a good sign of the tyre. I drive like Miss Daisy, most of the time and if we talk about tyre efficiency, then I managed 750 miles on one tank of diesel driving all the way back from Les Deuz Alps. Grip and quietness is as stated, they’re good, but I’ve just replaced them for cuts and punctures one year on. 🤷‍♂️ Blackcircles were great. I’ve just put two Michelins on and made sure there’s insurance on them. Oh and also, for the record, I have two on the front that need changing shortly, 9 months old!!! Grrrrr
