The tyres came standard with my Sharan, and it has follow me through >70K Km for the past 1 year 8 months. Yes, no typo, it is >70K Km, and still have ~50% Thread left!!!
The tyre is surprisingly quiet, for the 1st 50K Km, and thereafter get noisier, mainly because of hardening, rather than wear and tear. Braking performance in both wet and dry are above average (day 1 till now), and grip is reasonably good (considering that I am using it on a MPV).
Thought of changing another set now as the hardening is compromising on comfort as well as safety, but unfortunately, CPC2 from Stamford not longer come with ContiSeal. Not sure about the newer CPC6. Will check it out soon.

What I like - Thread wear is good (>70K Km)
- Quiet (up to ~50K Km)
- Good braking performance (both wet and dry)
- Above average road gripping property
What I do not like - Pricey (was quoted $350/pc by VW Singapore - 225/50R17 with Contiseal)
Reliable brand.
The CPC 2 have good grip in both wet and dry conditions. As towards the end of its life span. The dry grip is still consider good. These tyres don't screech even when you applied E-brake.
The aquaplaning resistance is unpredictable. Beware of this.
The ride is comfortable and quiet only on good tarmac condition. Quite bumpy.
I have been running about 30000km on these tyres. Left about 5mm thread.
I am not a aggressive driver.

I bought these tyres as at the time most drivers had had them installed and the price was acceptable for a premium brand. I have been very happy with the grip in the dry, and in the wet they are less predictable and when they let go on wet roundabouts, the grip doesn't feel like it's there(they hang on well up to that point though). Must be said they have great resistance to aquaplaning. I have however been shocked by how quickly they have worn out though.

What I like Good grip on dry tarmac and minimal noise.
What I do not like Bad treadwear for its performance, and wet grip isn't of that great.
