good on the back.. really grippy.. but not so grippy on the front.. will slide if you push it into roundabouts in the wetwith them onthe front. Really hard wearing..got a pair that havehad atleast 20,000 miles of serious abuse and they could probably do the same again!

grip levels were ok, for the same money i've bought P-Zero's and really happy with them

Aye!

I have dunlopsp 9000's on my summer wheels and I absolutely love them... grip is good in wet and dry and the tread wear is good... Slight ammount of road noise but its to be expected with all 'V' pattern tyres...

yea the dunlops are my other option

thats pretty much my only 2options as i need 195/45/13 on the rear and 175/50/13 on the front :Q and i want them to match.

so out of the 2 you would recomend the dunlops over the contis?

conti's are ok (better than a cheap version) and other than the high wear rate, they were ok, although i've nopt experienced them, i'd be inclined to go for the dunlops
