Just did my first track day with these tires. They did very well. Felt a little softer than my PS2s but maybe that is because these were new (<500km) but once they heated up they performed well. Again, for less than 1/2 the price it's a steal in my opinion.

The standard fit Cont 3's on mine are 245 / 35 front and 265 / 35 rear.
So these will work for the front - 245/35R19 93Y XL TL However the rears are listed as 265/30R19 93Y XL TL - this changes the front to back profile ration, or I could go: 275/35R19 100Y XL TL - But this is wider than OEM and seem to be a different type of tyre.. Anyone know the differences and if I can actually run 275 on the back of the OEM wheel. |

Just an update.
I had the 275/35/18's installed in Feb this year. So far they have done 5 autocrosses, 3 days at buttonwillow, 2 days at laguna seca, and one day at streets of willow and they are still holding up well. No chunking, still a reasonable amount of thread left (but getting close). I expect these will hold up for the next 2 autox. Not bad for <$800. They have handled real well and are a good solid tire. I may go for these again though I'm debating slicks.

Well, I just placed an order for 245/35/19 & 275/35/19 for my Volk TE37 Time Attacks so I'm anxiously awaiting for the set to arrive! What tire pressures are you guys using front & rear? I've been using 38/40 yet I still get noticeably more inner tread wear. I guess that's just the nature of the beast.

Assymetrical. Don't know anyone who does a unidirectional tire anymore - that would mean 4 unique tires for a staggered setup.

My brother in-law runs 15mm front and 12mm rear spacers with 255/275 Vreds on stock 19's and has no issues.

Let me get this straight... You are swapping out parts designed by some of the top engineers in the world because some guys sponsored by a company told you it's "better??" But when you ask the same guy about tracking, "oh no, I have a kid now" or "I just detailed my car." or "i just got new tires."

Are there any US based sites that will ship?

Hi All,
Had these on several cars before and rate them highly, however I'm concerned they are not "made" for the M3 specifically and may screw the handling. However, I may give them a try. Also, I'm having trouble sourcing the 245/35/19 and 275/35/19 Combo in the UK at present. Four CSC3 looking around £830, cheapest I can find these is £668. Anyone found cheaper? |
