Product description & features

Building a summer performance tyre with the emphasis on braking and steering on warm asphalt, the Continental ContiSportContact 3 uses a special BlackChili tread compound that creates a bond with the road surface when the tyre is heated and braking. Continental places macro-blocks in the outer edge of the asymmetric tread design. Linking the blocks, the outer tread assists in the transmission of cornering forces to the inner edge. Braking and steering stability is further enhanced with a channel running the depth of the tread, with cross channels on the inner edge helping disperse water from the tread surface.

The ContiSportContact 3 is the successor to the ContiSportContact 2 in the road performance line from Continental. The SSR version uses self-supporting reinforced tyre walls that allow the tyre to support the weight of the vehicle after losing pressure, for vehicles equipped with Continental runflat tyres. At Tyres.co.uk, we stock the Continental ContiSportContact 3, with the SSR runflat tyres.

Highlights

  • BlackChili tread compound
  • Asymmetric tread with outer blocks
  • Deep channel with inner cross channels
  • Self-supporting reinforced tyre walls

The tyres were a little expensive, however, they are more comfortable, quieter on the road, and don't tend to follow the white lines.

Tyre review for Continental Conti Sport Contact 3 245/40R20 99Y XL
The traction is acceptable; however, the wear of the tyres is quite rapid, especially when compared to the previous tyres from Michelin. I will be changing back to Michelin.

I've had no issues with these tyres. Mercedes-Benz specifies this tyre for my model, and I haven't tried any other options, so I can't compare.

Much better than the Primacy 3 tyres I had before. They also don't feel unsteady in corners, with steering being far more precise and responsive.

Tyre review for Continental Conti Sport Contact 3 245/40R20 99Y XL
I have picked up several of these tyres and they have not changed at all. I drive around 36,000 miles a year and I think these tyres give a good amount of mileage. Plus, they feel secure while driving. These tyres might be more for looks (19-inch wheels) on this vehicle, so they will not have to endure any extreme performance challenges.

These tyres are showing just about even wear and good holding up, plus there is good tread depth remaining and they are staying well balanced. The sidewalls are still in excellent condition so everything is still tip-top.

I used to race up and down the roads but that's a thing of the past, these tyres look great and the wobble from uneven tread on the old ones is gone. I only do about 5,000 miles a year so hopefully these will last!
