Product description & features

Continental Sport Contact 5 tyres are built for drivers of performance-oriented hatchbacks, saloons and coupes who want confident road manners in warmer conditions. As a summer tyre, they’re best suited to everyday UK driving from spring to autumn, combining high-speed stability on motorways with responsive control on fast A-roads.

An asymmetric tread pattern helps balance straight-line precision with cornering bite. The outer shoulder uses larger tread blocks to support the car during hard braking and quick direction changes, while a stable centre area helps keep steering inputs crisp and predictable. Under load, the tread is designed to maintain an even contact patch, promoting consistent grip and reducing the vague feel that can appear with softer touring tyres.

For wet roads, wide circumferential grooves and open channels move water away from the footprint to reduce the risk of aquaplaning and support dependable braking. The tread compound is engineered to grip effectively without sacrificing practicality, helping deliver respectable wear and rolling efficiency for this class of tyre, which can also contribute to lower fuel use over time.

In independent European tyre tests, the SportContact 5 has regularly scored highly for wet and dry performance. It’s available to buy online in all available sizes on Tyres.co.uk, with fitment at a nearby garage of your choice or delivery to a preferred address; sizes typically span 16–22 inches depending on your vehicle.
