Purchased the Sport Contact 7's to replace the ageing Michelin Pilot Super Sports on the front of my M2 and made that decision after watching the tire reviews video showing just how good they are compared to PS4S's and Goodyear Eagle F1 Super Sport's. My rear tires are still ok so will be changing those at a later date, but they will definitely be the Sport Contact 7's when I do.
The first impression from the tire was that it feels more comfortable and less noisy than the original PSS tires and after a few days of driving and getting used to the car the difference in feel on the front end is immense. The turn in is immediate and sharp and just feels ultra grippy. Where the PSS used to seem to want to wait to turn after a short delay the SC7's are fast and precise on turn in and just give total confidence mid corner, with what feels like unlimited grip.
In the wet they feel just as good and inspire confidence.
I will fit the rears after the winter but these tires are far superior and a huge chunk cheaper than the Michelin PSS. The PS4S was not available in M2 sizes at the time but for the money the Conti SC7's are the best value in my eyes. They are a huge chunk cheaper than the PS4S and although the Conti sidewall is not as nice to look at as the the PS4S, I'm happy that the performance is probably the best out there for daily use.
Looking forward to fitting the rears so I can see how they perform. I can imagine improvements in traction, especially in the wet. Overall very happy, and i would recommend these tires to anyone with a higher performance vehicle.
