I need to buy new summer tyres.
Did anybody tried the ContiSportContact™ 5 P?

I have just placed the new Dunlop Sport Maxx Race on the back of the MB which is trying to manage 575bhp through two little patches. Like them lots. We will need to see how they last as they are semi track day rubber.

When stone cold they are a bit slippy. Once warm they handle it amazingly well. I am told they need camber to work on the front.

At the end I went right now for the lazy known option (it has been always a good choice on my old cars).
Michelin Pilot Super Sport 225/35 ZR19
Michelin Pilot Super Sport 245/35 ZR19

The choice was between these and the Conti since they both got an A rating on wet roads.

The Dunlop Sport Maxx Race were not an option since I use the car regardless of the weather and, nevertheless, the 225/35 19 is not existing

Well the Dunlop Sport Maxx is available for less than 150 Euro in 225/35ZR19, not in "Race" though:
