stan.hawrylak 6 Report post Posted August 30, 2015 On the subject of wear rate on the Conti 5s, did an evening on track at Brands recently in the dry - albeit not in the 86 but a Golf GTI mk7 - and the fronts more or less fell apart. Large tears and lumps coming out of the tread. Although I was whacking the kerbs a lot, so self inflicted I suppose, but I was surprised at the extent of the tyre damage. Even the rears had a fair degree of wear on them. However they were fairly grippy and worked well enough, just a ? over wear on track in the dry. By all accounts they are mega in the wet... I'm interested to hear if anyone has run them on track in the wet, especially in a competitive scenario... Haversack 1 Special K reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lauren 2259 Report post Posted August 30, 2015 Kev had Contisport Contacts on his car at Snett I believe, where it was wet as you know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KevinA 695 Report post Posted August 30, 2015 Wet they are amazing, dry they struggle. This year I have used them at TSS and have not had the dry grip I would like. 1 stan.hawrylak reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
