After doing a heap of looking around, I've narrowed my search (245/35/R19) down to the Michelin Pilot Super Sport and the Continental ContiSportContact 5P. The feedback I've read seems to be that the Pilot SS are superior particularly in the dry but need a bit of heat to perform their best and suffer in the wet while the CSC 5P has less grip but is more consistent in performance in both the wet and dry.Has anyone used both of these and have comments on them? I found a couple of people who were running the Pilot SS on their Rears and the CSC 5P on their Fronts to get the best of both worlds.Michelin Pilot Super Sport 245/35R19 - $305Continental ContiSportContact 5P - $355 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/91372-michelin-pilot-ss-or-continental-csc-5p/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

As im also up for new rears on my G6et but I will be sticking with the Hankooks.

Has anybody else any experience with these?....

Put about 100km on them this afternoon . Really impressed with the grip available in the cooler weather . Should be awesome once the weather warms up. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/91372-michelin-pilot-ss-or-continental-csc-5p/#findComment-1606428 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like contis, I find they perform really well in the wet, how much did it set you back for them in that size?
