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

Excellent! The driving experience was amazing whether in the wet or dry. Driving in the wet or dry conditions was awesome. Ordering the tyres was easy, and the customer service was superb. Overall, a wonderful experience.

Tyre review for Continental Sport Contact 5 255/40R19 96W
I have had a superb experience with the Contis. In the summer, they do fantastically on A and B roads and provide me with a lot of reassurance on the motorway when it is bucketing down with rain in the autumn.

Tyre review for Continental Sport Contact 5 255/40R19 96W
I replaced the old ones with the same kind, only these are quieter and offer better traction on the road. Also, with the four-wheel alignment, the car now rides more smoothly and handles better.
