Compared to the GY Supercar 3, the Contis are much better in the wet or damp and very similar in the dry. The Contis are a little 'squishy' or softer feeling but it is subtle. They have much more tread depth on them than the SC3s though. They are much quieter on the road too, which also gives a sense of a less harsh ride. We'll see how they do as the temps lower this fall.
This car is only driven on the street, no track use, so the higher dry track performance of the SC3s never really cane into play. I like the ability to drive the car year round on the Contis and not worry about wheel or tire swaps. So far I don't feel like I'm giving up much.

Great review… this is precisely the info I was looking for related to the Conti’s
