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.

Great! I always choose the best tyres because they keep the car stable on the ground, no matter the weather conditions.

Tyre review for Continental Sport Contact 5 255/45R22 107Y XL
The new tyres are doing the same job as the last ones. I swapped them for the same brand and model. I'm not a race car driver but they seem amazing!

Tyre review for Continental Sport Contact 5 255/45R22 107Y XL
Handling was poor and steering was even more difficult. The tyre was supposed to be reinforced (XL). In the end, I had to replace it a week later - a total waste of money.
