What continental contisport contact tyres were on the mk1 Octavia vRS (2004)from new?

mluton · 17-05-2008, 13:00

Need new tyres on the front, so I had this idea of using my never used spare and buying a new continental contisport contact.

Seems to be 2 versions of continental contisport contacts 2 & 3.

Anyone know which were on the vRS octavia from new ? 2 or 3 ?

I'm not being lazy, your probably thinking look in the boot you lazy sod, but my boot is full with my old exhaust and its raining.

Cheers

I don't think they make them anymore, they were replaced. I managed to get the last 2 in Budgets stock a couple of years ago. I think they were just called conti contact sports.

I had a 2003 and it came with Continental Sport Contacts http://www.theforce.me.uk/photogalle...t%20brakes.jpg

Sport contacts (not 2 or 3) were fitted to my 2005 (54 plate) vRS. I've now got sport contact 2 on the front and sport contact on the back. Personally I prefer the look of the contacts rather than contact 2 - for some reason, the profile looks greater on the 2's (even though they're identical).

As stated, the originals are available, but if you went in to Kwik Fit, they're "superceeded Sir, can't get 'em"

Got 2 new tyres fitted today at the front. Not everyones choice of tyre but a massive upgrade to what I had and smack bang on the money I wanted to spend.

claytarget_god · 17-05-2008, 20:42

what did you get?

Its a wet day today and the improvement over my Marshalls is amazing. I did a bit of reading and they are a good wet/dry/price tyre.

matt@theforce · 18-05-2008, 21:11

Kumho's seem to be OK, I had the KH11's recomended to me when I replaced my tyres the other week but decided to give the KU31 Ecsta Sports a try as they were the same price.

mluton · 18-05-2008, 21:28

The local garage fitted 2 for £150 which is resonable, but I said I'd be back next month for the rears and he said he would do them for a £100 fitted.

So not bad all round for £250.

I'm really impressed with them, but the previous were terrible. They got alot of good write ups searching the web.
