Product description & features

The Continental ContiSportContact 5 SUV tyre is designed to excel at summer performance with shorter and more efficient stopping distances. As an SUV tyre, the ContiSportContact 5 makes use of its BlackChili compound to assist with the heavier braking forces of taller, heavier vehicles. The use of Conti’s Macroblock design allows the outer edge of the asymmetric tread to be made with large and solid tread blocks to provide cornering support. The tread also utilises 4 circumferential grooves to channel away water from the contact patch.

The SUV focused tyre makes use of a reinforced casing to accommodate the tall and heavy design considerations of the braking and accelerating forces of an SUV. Some iterations of the ContiSportContact 5 also come equipped with ContiSilent which is a foam layer that is adhered to the inside of the tyre that is intended to lower the interior cabin noise by up to 9dB. You can find the ContiSilent versions along with the standard variants of the Continental ContiSportContact 5 at Tyres.co.uk.

Highlights

  • BlackChili compound for heavier braking
  • Large outer tread blocks
  • Four water-clearing tread grooves
  • Reinforced casing for SUVs

Tyre review for Continental Sport Contact 5 SUV 235/50R18 97W
They look good to me, no problems so far and the wear seems fair. I might be thinking of changing out the all season tyres on the front of the car for these!

Overall these tyres are great. They perform well in most conditions, though, I have not tested them in snow and ice.

What change are you expecting? As far as I can see, the car is still running and the tyres are still on it. That's all that really matters to me.
