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 5 245/50R18 100Y
The new tyres have been feeling secure and stable in the rain and cold on the welsh hill roads. They have even saved me during an emergency stop, which I don't think the old ones would have done, especially after 21,000 miles!

They have an excellent grip on the road, especially when the road is wet. I will for sure buy them again.

Tyre review for Continental Sport Contact 5 245/50R18 100Y
From what I have seen, the tyres appear to be in very good condition. These days, I am not taking any risks at traffic lights or pushing the tyres to their limits.

Tyre review for Continental Sport Contact 5 245/50R18 100Y
I expected the mileage on the original set of tyres from the manufacturer to be more! I wonder how the second set will compare - both pairs were on the front wheels.

The experience should be calm and enjoyable and the tyres should last a long time.
