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 5 225/40R19 89Y
I'm really happy with these tyres. They make driving the car much smoother and it's quietened down too. They also don't compromise on grip. The traction on dry roads is excellent and although the wet grip is good, my car has always spun the back wheels in the rain. Overall, I consider these an improvement on the original tyres that came with the car.

Unfortunately, I had to pay £25.00 to have one of my front tyres reseated, which is really disappointing.

Tyre review for Continental Sport Contact 5 225/40R19 89Y
While they tend to understeer, they are a good option for reliable handling on dry pavements. On the other hand in wet conditions, there is a lot of wheelspin on lower gears during normal driving, they are good in corners and consistent.

I had tried to fix the wheel wobble issue and the noise issue with wheel balancing multiple times and now it's noticeably better.

The last set has similar ride quality, which is why traction is rated as decent.
