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.

Highlights

  • Premium summer tyre
  • Asymmetric tread design

Tyre review for Continental Sport Contact 5 245/35R18 92Y XL
The tyres give the car great grip for cornering and stopping in wet and dry conditions. Since they are the original equipment tyres for the car and the perform exceptionally well, it made sense to stick with the same brand for replacements.

Tyre review for Continental Sport Contact 5 245/35R18 92Y XL
I could instantly feel the difference in handling and how much easier it was to control the car in the rain versus the budget tyres I had fitted to the car before.
