The Continental Conti Sport Contact 5 FR is a summer tyre for high performance. Braking performance in both wet and dry conditions is a priority with this tyre. The BlackChili braking grip compound is a key ingredient. For the tread design, a braking grip compound is complemented by a braking grip tread with large outer blocks to support cornering, an outer groove to help channel water exiting the contact patch, and a stiff centre to provide straight line control.
This tyre, which came out in 2011, is the successor to the Conti Sport Contact 3 and was succeeded by the Sport Contact 6. The ‘FR’ designation is for the kerb protection design element which has a rubber lip extending out to the wheel rim. Tyres.co.uk also has the runflat SSR versions so be sure to check our stock for the Continental Conti Sport Contact 5 FR.
