I've been looking around the web for 315/25's since I don't want to mismatch my AWD coupler with 305/30's and I don't want to run the poor performing Toyo T1 or the Nitto Invo. I found that they sell these in the UK in the Sportcontact 6 and I am trying to get a set. I sent off a few emails so we'll see what I can do. They have the matching 235/35/19 as well. I read some reviews on them and they are comparable to the Michelin PSS so they should be good tires.

Let us know what you find. I am interested, as well.

 

DOT certification is a potential problem. These are OEM on the Audi R8, though not in our sizes. Have not heard back from anyone yet but I'll keep emailing before I try phone calls.

 

I have been running Conti SC6 since last year.
315/25-19
235/35-19
Working fine here, but havent been on track to really test ;-)

They are available at several shops here in Europe, let me know if anything I can do to assist

 

Awesome. Do the sidewalls feel pretty stiff under cornering? Or do they sway around a bit like a comfort tire? Do they have a DOT marking on them? In the US the DOT aka department of transportation has their test to make them legal here and they put their label on them with some load rating numbers I think. It should say DOT on it somewhere, it usualy looks like this:

It is possible that they got them tested and molded in the label and have not imported them for some reason. I know the R8 and I think the Cayman use these tires, so there are some available here but not in the sizes I need. Thanks for any help!

 

isn't Continental bringing a NEW tire here...ExtremeContactSport or something of that nature...

 

Where did you hear that from? It likely is this tire if so. It is the latest and greatest.

 

It is this tire...found the thread...info released by Larry on RL http://rennlist.com/forums/991-gt3-g...port-tire.html

 

Yah that looks like the tire, with maybe a few updates. I emailed them to see about 315's.

 

I'll take a set pf the 315's in 19 inch. My PS 2's are about done.

 

Looks like no 315 in the North American version. Back to trying to import.

If anyone else wants a set make sure you post up here, sort of like a petition. I'll send this thread around and maybe we can get something done.

 

That is why I'm interested

 

Update: I think that the US version of the 235/35/19 is just about the same tire with some minor tread updates, so I won't worry about that one as I can get it next month. So now just trying to import the 315/25/19. I have a lead that may work, giving this a try. This company is like the Tirerack of Europe. If we can just confirm that the tires have a DOT rating I don't think there will be any problems. Here is their response to my email:

I replied to this email with my information so we will see tomorrow.

 

Here's a pic I found of a SC6 tire that is not currently sold in the US, it has a DOT marking at the top so I think it is probable that the 315/19 does as well and this is should be legal.

 

I am also looking for a good set of 315/25/19. And of course matching fronts. Please let us know of any updates. Thanks.
