The new Astra, at least mine on the 19"s, comes with ContiSportContact™3 tyres. So reading most of the comments, these are not so goodWith all the roundabouts we've got here, I'll be up then for new ones once I hit 10.000 ks. So the verdict is still out then on the best tyre.

It depends on how fast you take the corners.. lol..
You make sound like roundabouts are bad things!
I wouldn't be happy with a tyre if I got less than 50,000km out of them, but maybe that's the way I drive.
Last few tyres have lasted 60,000+ kms.
The CSC3s are suppose to be good tyres, but not outstanding. I think the Bridgestone Re001s are much better than CSC2s.
Continental really dropped the prices on the CSC3s and CSC5s to position themselves against the Re001s , whereas the CSC2s were very pricey.

Roundabouts are good for traffic flow, I agree to that, but very bad for tyre life. Just a few roundabouts are fine but one every 200 meters or so is too much. Anyone thats ever been to Noosa will agree to that. My tyres usually last only between 10.000 and 15.000 ks or so and I rotate them every 5000 ks.

After coping a nail in one of my Bridgestones, i'm now running them just on the front and had some spare Dunlop Sport Maxx's so they're on the rear. Forgot what it was like to run un matched tyres! Fun but don't fill me with confidence lol

Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.
This is a roundabout way of saying that cars are dangerous....

@dutchy I know where theres a set of brand new wheels and tyres that will fit your carbtw, does it have the 19" same wheels as mine ? If so, the black centre piece, is that clipped on ? How do I get that off ?
Never mind, just saw a pic in the spam thread, different wheels.

The Clio comes with Conti Sport 3's and I couldn't really fault them. Quite with decent grip. Mine were close to gone at 41 000 km's.The new Astra, at least mine on the 19"s, comes with ContiSportContact™3 tyres. So reading most of the comments, these are not so good
Now replaced with Bridgestone S001's for $215 per tyre. They are a small step up from the RE002's.
Only fitted today so it's hard to give an opinion just yet but if they are anything like the RE002's I had on the Astra I'll be very happy
As did my Megane RS. Only problem for me is the cost.
Running the Good Year Asymmetric II's for now and they are a good all rounder, have lasted near 20,000km also witch I think is rather good for a performance tyre on a hypo FWD driven by a mad man.
