Any suggestions please ?
As you live in England, might I suggest the Continental ASP which was an
OEM option? I've burned two sets of those and found them to actually be
a better tire for cornering than the Goodyear F1GS-D3 tires I've currently
got on my Crossfire. I find that the Goodyears will break traction going
around corners at speeds which the Contis never lost their grip.
If you are looking for a straight performance tire, I'd give the Continental
ContiContact 3 tires a chance. If they are more sticky than the ASPs (I'd
heard them coming un-glued from my garage floor every morning while
they were installed), which I'd suspect, then they'd make a fine tire for
the Crossfire. Unfortunately, I have no experience with the ContiContact
3 tires, so cannot do more than guess about them, but I think they will
be my next set.
