I'm in need of a full set of tyres soon - thinking of going for another 4 of these. Thoughts?
Should I flip a coin to choose which ones
. Cost isn't a factor, so is there a reason to choose one over the other?

My mind keeps changing, my front F1A2's are down to around 2mm and i will be changing them back to CS5's (well that's my current thinking).
However the differences are negligible, the CS5's seem to wear a little better.

Not enough ***** for it to be a proper topic.

Ain't CSC5's more for the saloon? I got this impression after reading reviews on them.
I have been through about 10 CSC3 tyres, they are great but do wear quite quick. Average 10k miles, though brilliant grip in the dry/wet/snow.
Will continue to use this tyre for a long time.

Excellent, so if they last longer and are £10 cheaper to buy, and differences are negligible. I should be choosing them over the F1A2's?

These have been around for years and years now, surely not competitive anymore?

If they don't last very long (10k not even being a year for myself), how much do they cost for a set?
Approaching the point where I need to consider new ones.

I'm on my 3rd set and why would they not be competitive still if they do exactly what they're designed to do (and very well), be high performance tyres in wet and dry?

Tyres and compounds are improving all the time

Good thread.
Hating my Bridgestone Potenza's (RE040) that came on the car when I bought it. Such a horrid tyre it's ridiculous, seems very skitterish on fast bends where the road surface isn't perfectly smooth - have them on my 325 as well (came with that too) which is exactly the same.
They just don't inspire confidence when driving quickly.

What else would be worth a look in then? If I can get a set of decent performing tyres for a similar prices to the Vreds then I'll give them a shot. Otherwise I've been more than happy with the performance and longevity they offer and they seem to be very well suited to the E46.

Yes, this much is obvious
lol my point was that while they are still good tyres, eventually they won't be as good as high end current-gen offerings that use newer/potentially better compounds i.e. not being competitive anymore as Fox said. I can't say whether that's happened yet or not though, I don't know enough about these tyres to comment
my CTR came with these on. they were dreadful.
I changed them to RE050A and the difference is night and day.
the 50As held their own on track too.
Time for bigger wheels or a new car then.
In the process of ticking the first box anyway
Hoping i can make it to the next trackday tbh.
Although the april one may be too soon.

I recently went for Pirelli P7 Cinturato on my Honda Civic 2.2 (205/55/16) at £70 a corner fitted.
