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 5 235/45R18 94W
I have fitted Continental tyres on various vehicles and they have always performed really well. They are great at minimising road noise and have good wet grip and durability.

Tyre review for Continental Sport Contact 5 235/45R18 94W
Thank you for your response. This is my second set of tyres and I appreciate the way these tyres handle. I can say that compared to other tyres I have had, these are vastly superior in terms of cornering, braking and acceleration. I feel the most confidence in the rain with these tyres. The service I received from Tyres.co.uk allowed me to buy premium tyres at an affordable price.
