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.

  • Premium summer tyre

You seem to be doing well up to this point, but I haven't driven enough miles to give a more thorough assessment.

Tyre review for Continental Sport Contact 5 235/55R19 101Y
These tyres perform exceptionally well on my fairly large vehicle. The grip and handling they provide are excellent, regardless of the road conditions. The only thing to consider is that they may wear out quite quickly, and I have to replace the rear ones every 10,000 miles, but given how outstanding the performance is, I consider this a small price to pay.

Tyre review for Continental Sport Contact 5 235/55R19 101Y
Fantastic grip when cornering. There is some wheelspin when setting off, although I reckon that is due to the terrible road surfaces in Scotland.

Excellent experience. The garage I reached out to about tyres suggested buying from you and offered to fit them. It was a saving for me. Great service and honest advice. Absolutely amazed throughout. The fitting was done by the garage.

Tyre review for Continental Sport Contact 5 235/55R19 101Y
27 June 2017: Weather - Heavy rainfall. Travelled to Essex and back from Nottinghamshire in one day. The roads were flooded with puddles and patches that looked like rivers. The new tyres were put to the test in extreme conditions and performed just as advertised.
