Mistakenly bought 4 MC7 (225 50 R17) and used for a week through super hot and heavy rain days.
The grip is definitely better than my previous UC6;
UC6 never skid on turns but had some power loss due to slip (traction control) when accelerating from 0kmph on wet road. MC7 never skid/ power loss from slip.
MC7 road noise is quite noticeable.
MC7 treadwear can see clearly not going to last longer than my old UC6 :'(
Probably a good tyre for fun drive in cars with higher horse power.
For daily/ family car, or in my case, long distance driving, i think better get UC7 because UC7 is around RM50 more expensive per tyre (on Shopee).

how i got my tyres:
i went to conti official outlet, ordered tyres from shopee official conti store, they install the tyres they have in stock so i dont have to wait for my tyres to arrive.
how i mistakenly bought MC7 instead of UC7:
my gf ordered the tyres on her shopee because i had to work on my laptop at the time. when i checked on her, she completed payment already

I'm assuming better get UC7 over MC7 because total extra 200 bucks, in addition to faster wear from the grippier MC7, yes?

Thanks for explaining on the mistake and how you gotten your tires. I'm definitely asking that if you didn't ! laugh.gif

yeap, better wear and more comfort at RM200 is a decent price difference.
but do take note that MC7 is still so new that no one really knows how long the tread lasts. it may look like it is wearing off bad, but it might still last longer than we expect.
you can see from the photo, that there are "scratch-marks" on the front tyres (none on rear tyres) from daily driving (50km for 1 week). Never seen these marks on my UC6.
