Default The Contac 3's are supposed to be +5% better than the 2's. based on my conversation with Conti.

Hope they are because the Conti 2's are poor to marginal for performance people at best. RE01R still the best performance tire right now.

Why does it seem like I'm in the minority that actually like the CSC3?

Default Certainly for AutoX no it wouldn't be great...

Most street tires don't do well out of their element and the heavy RS4 is certainly no help. For normal driving the CSC3 has given us excellent results on the Gallardo with traction wet and dry, comfort, noise level and tread wear.
