Product description & features

The Continental Sport Contact 5 is a premium summer tyre. The BlackChili compound used provides impressive braking and cornering control. The Sport Contact 5 uses an asymmetric tread design. Larger tread blocks are placed on the outer edge for cornering and braking support. Centre tread blocks stiffen at high speeds and a steady line is maintained by the centre ribs. The 3D grooves remove water from the contact patch.

The Sport Contact 5’s successor is the SportContact 6. The SportContact 6 also comes in ContiSeal and SSR constructions. ContiSeal tyres have a sealing layer beneath the tread which seals punctures up to 5mm. SSR (Self Supporting Runflat) tyres are constructed with reinforced sidewalls that support the vehicle after a loss of air pressure. Tyres.co.uk has extensive stocks of the Continental Sport Contact 5 in SSR and ContiSeal constructions.

Tyre review for Continental Sport Contact 5 195/45R17 81W
I haven't put them through their paces in the wet or snow yet, so I'm reserving judgement for now.

Tyre review for Continental Sport Contact 5 195/45R17 81W
Not very impressed. One of the new tyres had to be refitted only a few weeks after it was fitted.

Tyre review for Continental Sport Contact 5 195/45R17 81W
The durability of my new tyres is pretty much the same as my old tyres. Only time can tell about the performance in the long run.

They have a good solid grip, wet or dry, just like you would expect and the perform just like when I first got the car.
