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

Tyre review for Continental Sport Contact 5 275/45R20 110V XL
Everything seems to be going well, but we are only two weeks in. However, there have been challenges earlier models, so I am not expecting any issues.

Tyre review for Continental Sport Contact 5 275/45R20 110V XL
These tyres came with my car and they have been great. They have managed two track days really well and have good grip in snow and rain conditions with no slip or problems.

Tyre review for Continental Sport Contact 5 275/45R20 110V XL
It's good to know that the steering is more reactive. Also, the wet-weather performance has been even better. It has been raining for almost a week non stop. It makes me feel sure and confident driving in the rain.

Tyre review for Continental Sport Contact 5 275/45R20 110V XL
They are fine, but they wear down too fast, like most modern tyres (I have had this issue with Michelin and Pirelli as well).
