Conti SC3's

[GrumpyTwig]

Anyone?

Maybe down a hill with a tail wind it'll top 149? (would need to be a 200 as the 197 would definitely run out of gear), I know it's quoted in the book to be 141mph but they wouldnt be the first...

Cornering feel? Anticipation that someone will tune it above that? No idea, lol.

.... more than likely a Renault contract with continental - what are they putting on the latest 200's?

I might query it with a tyre expert, but it seems a cheaper way of owning the same tyre.

Yeah, I'll deffo quiz a couple of people I think are in the know, I'm dying to the proper facts.

Info from Peak Performance Tyres;


The V rated tyre is rated to 149mph, Speed ratings are in no way to do with "performance" but, not being what the clio comes with as standard, If you had an accident + the insurance company were being picky, It could invalidate your insurance.

The clio comes with the W rating as they can exceed the 149mph mark of the V. But not the 168mph covered by fitting a W.

As for the load rating, It doesn't really matter. You cant really get a tyre in this size that isn't suitable for the clio. 87 being 545KG and 91 being rated to 600KG.

Hi there,

Just following on from the OP's price I have had two Conti SC3's fitted to the front of my 197 F1 today for £234.00 inc VAT, balancing, valves and fitting.

Great price I thought from Castle Tyres in Newcastle, Staffordshire.

Regards

Tim
