Continental Contisportcontact 5s on a MX5 Mk. 3.5

[Flyferrari]

These tyres get rave reviews on other cars and are available in the correct size for the MX-5, albeit with an 88 XL load rating. Has anyone tried these on an MX and how did you find them?

Thanks for any info.

Can't speak for 5s, different tyres but no complaints about the 3s I've had on mine, I'm not sure what to put into words. Will be changed soon despite plenty of tread, they were nearly 5 years old of the shelf.... I'd guess they've done 12-3k so far.

91W 215/45 should be available, I'd recommend that over 205/45, it should have had them from the factory.

Thanks for the reply.

I'll probably stick to the standard sizes just to keep it simple. It's good to hear that someone is successfully using a tire that isn't a Kumho or Toyo and it working. I'll report back how I get on.
