ContiSportContact 3 SSR = WOW!

Ok I was thinking about changing out to non runflats as my OEM Dunlop runflats were getting pretty bad. They still had tread on them but I was really starting to loose confidence in them.
The non rf's I was looking at ran about $140 without install so that is where I set my price range. I know I could have found cheaper tires but you need to understand i am here in Germany and shipping will put added cost and then install price racks up the final price as well. Well, I found the ContiSportContact 3 SSR's for right around $150 installed.
These tires are AWSOME! STICKY TOO!
Those of you that want the peace of mind of the runflat and the comfort of a non runflat, give these tires a try! I have about 500 miles on them so far and love them!

Those of you that swear by non rf's, enjoy! Those of you that want a great tire and peace of mind, give the Continental ContiSportContact 3's a try!!

A great deal when you compare them to the Dunlops. I was really happy when I found them for the price I did!

These tires are very quiet and hold the road very well. Here in San Antonio, there are good and bad roads. They remind me I'm running runflats when I hit an expansion joint or a rough surface. I cringe if there is rough terrain I can't avoid. So far, tread life has been very good. I've had them since 10/09 and have put about 8k on them.
