Was previously in Goodyear F1 asymmetric which was wearing thin so went down to lsta to change tyres last month. Was told conti csc 5p on promotion so decided to give a try. Performs really well on dry, which is nothing to shout about, but it's on wet (read ponding) that it really wows me. Last week there was a day which recorded the highest single daily rainfall and I was on the road. Needless to say, roads were very wet and puddles everywhere. Felt that the tyres still had a firm grip and no point did I feel hydroplane or skating on ice. Comes to stop effortlessly too. Very confidence instilling. On the comfort side is comparable to gy asy F1 but maybe just a tad noisier which I can live with.

I've driven mostly on on Falken tyres for the past 10 years, including some basic Ziex (325 & 512), progressing through Azenis ST115 (2 sets) and then FK452 (4 sets)... along the way I have had F1 GSD3 (2 sets) and Pirelli P7 (2 years)... and I drive really hard (most of my tyres last 20-25000)... and the FK452 are my benchmark for Dry and Wet. So on to the review (run in - 300km) Dry From take off, these are really grippy tyres. With 250Nm @1500rpm, most of my hard launches are noisy affairs, with me balancing wheelspin and grip to achieve maximum launch. On the CSC5, there is barely a chirp and then it grips and goes... Similarly, braking is phenomenal. My Gtech Pro measured more than 1G, and that was braking hard but not maximum (just an unexpected sudden slow down in peak traffic). In the corners, past the entry point, the grip is good, as is the lack of noise. close to 1G at peak, and easily sustaining 0.9G through the hard bends. And coming out of corners, the acceleration translation from pedal input to forward surge is more instant than I remember in previous tyres. The only gripe is that turn-in sharpness did not feel as direct as with the FK452 which I have grown accustomed to (over the last 5 years) In the WET I drive hard in the rain as much as I do in the dry, and I love to test the grip limits... and on this tyre, it's higher. I've had no problems stopping and cornering in light rain (wet floors), in fact, they felt as good as the FK452, and possibly better (on braking). Acceleration also felt more immediate, with the DSC/TSC rarely kicking in despite flooring the loud pedal (with ALL my other tyres, I get a decent amount of wheelspin before the traction control comes in to interrupt the fun). Overall The tyre feels lighter upon steering inputs (light to the touch), and is very quiet (definitely quieter than Falkens and GoodYears) I would probably not have tried them if the FK452 had not stopped production, and the shop did not run out of the FK453.... so this is a pleasant unexpected pleasure thanks to unfortunate circumstances

I have put those Continentals on my ride after replacing my old, worn-out tyres. These tyres made my car come to a stop better than any other tried before. Handling in corners is good but isn't best. This tyre is very good in straight lines - sticks like a glue on the road. Side walls of the tyre should be more hard. Better handling in turns, harder sidewalls, more kms/life and better look! The noise on these aren't of that annoying, since I have a loud engine. But to those economical, quiet cars, they can be really noisy to the ears.

Howdy from down under, what can I say, these tyres have changed the characteristic understeer that my Audi TT has, at speed when on the highway or having a hoot around town, these tyres give me real bite and turn in plus extra grip compared to what I had with the standard stock tyres they have, totally changed the driving of the car. Fabulous turn in, grip is fantastic, favourite corners can now be taken at 10kph or more, faster than before with no slippage! Totally boosted my confidence level while driving! Definitely worth the buy!
