Assy 5 Vs Sport contact 5

[texaxile]

Car is an 04 Impreza, 6 - 7k pa urban 20%/ B road 10% / A road 70% - no track days, driven gently most of the time.

According to Blackcircles there's £7 per corner difference, which is peanuts.but I'll do a more thorough search if I get any opinions.

Does anyone have any experience of the Conti's because I'm erring towards a set of 4, but I've heard some smashing reports about the Assy 5's from some BMW lads who swear by them.

I prefer wet weather performance as it's often bloody raining anyway, winter performance not an issue.

TIA for any replies.

Cheers.

Why the Assy 5 and not the 6?

From the original post, I am guessing price.

It was the price point, you're correct, but I've just found assy 6's on Protyre cheaper than the 5's and the sport contacts that were on Blackcircles (Blackcircles didn't list the assy 6's either).

Protyre are coming in at £365.12 fitted (£20 off voucher for Bank holiday!). I think for a set of 4 Assy 6's that's a damn good deal so I'm getting booked in for next week.

Thanks for the replies gents.
