Contisport Contact 3, 5 and 6's?

dbt01 · 1st May 2017, 19:33

Another (1/2) change of tyres coming up for my R75V8 and note that the Contisport Contact 3's that the car has always had for the last 220k miles are getting difficult to find. If possible I'd like to buy 2 tyres for the fronts and use with the 5/6 mm Contact 3's still on the back, which adds an extra complication!

Contact 5's and 6's there are, so is that the best choice, or is it time for a total change maybe? I like the combination of grip, wear and comfort/road-noise on the Contact 3's, so would be looking for something like that.

Any idea about the difference(s) between the Contact 3/5/6's? Just marketing maybe?

Any advice appreciated.
