ContiSportContact 3 vs Yokohama ADVAN Sport
Anyone who drives, meaning corners, not drag races or drifts, have an opinion on ContiSportContact 3's versus the Yoko ADVAN Sport tires? I've worn out the rears on my car, SportContact 2's, and need new ones, but in the size I need (305/25 20) I can only find the new SportContact 3 and the ADVAN. They're both in the $365 to $385 range but the Yoko's have a lower wear rating, but I'd be ok with that if they're appreciably better cornering since my car ends up on the track from time to time. If they're just slightly better, not worth the wear since as it is I wore out the 280-rated Conti's after 7000 miles.

I looked at the Nero's but they look like they've got too much wet weather engineering in them with all the little grooves and channels; since I track my car from time to time, I think that type of tire would be at a disadvantage on handling when pushed to the limit. I think I'm going to give the advan's a try next week and see how they do.
