Dry and wet grip are the Continental Sport Contact 2's clearest positives, attracting 91 and 63 favorable comments respectively, with fewer opposing views. The 193 reviews from 178 people average 69.6%, split between 91 positive, 92 neutral and ten negative. Wear is the main compromise, with 84 critical comments against 48 favorable ones, so short life is common but not universal.

Dry handling and steering feedback also receive more praise than criticism, while comfort is evenly divided. Repeat-owner scores move in both directions, without a consistent pattern of declining satisfaction as the tire ages.

I found this is a good tire, i have used it for approximately 40000 miles. aspalth roads, the traction is very good, in wet or dry. Change my first front wheels after 2 years. Because some one stab it with a knife or a screwdriver from the side. I think they tend to do a criminal activity. But thankfully the tire does not explode. I know its pricey and somewhat wear out quite fast, but worth every penny. I feel save traveling with these tires.

Dreadful tire, but that's what the car came with. Worn out in 14K miles on front and 26K miles on rear despite many miles of straight line driving with a correctly aligned car. Once down to 3-4mm become unbearably noisy on the wrong road surface. Wet grip when new was excellent, but so are many other tires out there. Have changed to PS3's and difference is night and day on this car. Half the wear rate for the same mileage on the front. Could not recommend this CSC2 tire to anyone.

Only 8000 miles of country lane driving in my 2009 mondeo tdci and the front tires are on the limit.
Very disappointed at how quickly the tires wore out.
I won't be buying these again.
Had these on the front of a rear wheel drive car so couldn't get a proper feel for them but they performed well on the front. After 30,000 miles they still had 4mm remaining so well impressed but they had to come off due to uneven wear (cars alignment fault, not the tires). They also developed cracking in the tread but this is most likely due to age of tires as they were 7 years old when they came off. While on the car I can't fault them, grip was good in all conditions. Discontinued now in this size but I would definitely use Continental tires again based purely on the grip.
all in all these were standard on car when purchased new, and i don't under estimate continental as they are a decent tire manufacturer.
grip: i found with the right tire pressure for the situation they are a great tire dry and in the wet, with this it is the same in the corner's.
mileage: decent miles per gallon using the right pressure.
wear:i know they are designed to be a soft sport's tire, but had these now for a few thousand miles upo and down the motorway along with some spirited driving and i can say the wear on them is minimal.
im going to give the tire overall 8/10 compared to its rivals.
Came as OE on my Fabia Estate, disappointed only lasted 16k on the front.
Just changed the rears after 32k, down to 3mm, but no trail left on wet roads, so decided it was time for a change.
Seem quite good in the summer but, in snow no grip whatsoever.
Fitted as standard to my 2013 Mondeo TDCI Titanium X Estate and worn out at 13,000 miles. Tramlining like there is no tomorrow.Very noisey..Not impressed at all
