Conti 5s

[Roy]

Well been on the car now 6 months and I have to say not to impressed as you know my wife drives the 197 and more and more the traction on pulling away from junctions ain't that good even in dry weather and that's with Mrs Slow driving
So I think I will get them changed round again and see if it's any different with the 3s on the front or Mrs Slow as become a racing driver over Xmas lol
Anybody else noticed if they have them on???

Why the change in the first place the Conti 3's were megga

I dont think they are any worse or any better than the 3s tbh.

Not sure what to try next. Bridgestone tyres that the Meg trophy has maybe?

I got Conti 5s & no problem with them.

A2ON couldn't get 3 at the time and the 5s have replaced them

Giles it must be her heavy foot then.I need to drive simples

It's the same with mine, I think it's due to the slightly stiffer sidewall. Turn in does feel sharper than the 3's though.

i like mine better than the 3's...

had them on thr front roy and kept getting alot of wheel spin from pulling away at junctions,traction feels worse so i put them on the back and put the 3's on the front havent had any problems with them there yet apart from grip really
