Looking at the thread of these 2 make/model it somehow got the similar side in their thread design but in terms of price it's really hell lots of difference. From what I enquire yesterday base on 215/45/17, a pc of CSC2 is $320 while S1evo should be around $215 I guess. Just fix up a 2nd hand set of CSC2 and find its stopping power is really superb compare to my previous RE001. Sidewall is really hard. Tyre squeaking sound level is quite high. Haven got a chance to test out the grip on cornering but I suppose it's good as well since it bite well during braking and this model is one of the highest performance tyre under the Conti range. Anyone had tried up these 2 tyres and can share your experiences here? After this CSC2 I should be trying up S1evo. Continental CSC2 Hankook S1evo

This is my personal view so take it with a pinch of salt. F1 GSD3 - 29,000km CSC2 - 400km Steering Input/Rolling Resistance The CSC2 has much lower rolling resistance and this is very obvious because the steering is much "lighter" and the car reacts to steering input in ultra quick time. Add this quick response to our 156's quick rack of 2.2 turns lock-to-lock and its a joy to switch lanes and overtake. (I am doing that like nobody's business now). The car is also able to cruise for a longer distance without the need for throttle input. Ride The sidewalls are REALLY SOFT!!! Most of the time I was on 33 PSI with the F1 GSD3. With the CSC2, I am currently on 34 PSI. Did several runs over at Changi Costal Road where there are lots of speed strips. When going slow, the ride was quite hard (i.e. no bounce) when we were on the F1 GSD3 but with the CSC2..... going slow is NOT an option. The car literally BOUNCE!!! So if you have CSC2, go over speed strips faster than normal then you will be fine. It is unfair to judge the noise level now because when the FA GSD3 were new. They were also very quiet. Rubber Compound I am no chemist but the F1 GSD 3 seems to have a softer compound because you can see stuffs like tissues, sand, grass etc. stuck to the tyre at the end of every drive. The CSC2 looks pretty clean. No stuffs sticking on the rubber. Traction IMHO, the F1 GSD3 has better traction/grip. Its "bite" on the tarmac is very reassuring. While on the CSC2, I had to do execute a hard braking maneuver once when a taxi strayed into my path as I was accelerating past Xkmh, (number deleted for sanity). Although the car did stop in time, the initial "bite" was just not there. But considering the comments above on Steering Input/Rolling Resistance and Rubber Compound, I think it makes sense. Conclusion Now I am accelerating, driving and changing lanes much faster than before but then I don't have the confidence to drive as aggressively due to the reduced traction (perceived or otherwise).
