Product description & features

The Continental SportContact 7 is a summer performance tyre. Having developed these characteristics into a different tyre for vehicles of varying weights and power levels, Continental are adept at responding to market needs. The tread pattern is designed for summer conditions, but with rain and wet roads in mind and coupled with an asymmetric Adaptive Pattern, the outer tread blocks link for cornering, the inner section employs a more open design to deal with water.

Constantly Flexible is a rubber compound designed by Continental, with lateral and vertical grooves, which helps the rubber to conform to road surfaces.

The SportContact 7 is the 7th iteration to replace the SportContact 6. Compared to the SportContact 6, Continental says that the SportContact 7 has less braking distance, a maximum improvement of 8% in the wet and 6% in the dry and an impressive increase of 17% in the tyre lifespan.

We offer the SportContact 7 with the added benefit of noise cancelling technology, ContiSilent. We stock the SportContact 7 at Tyres.co.uk.

Highlights

  • Asymmetric tread pattern
  • Open inner tread for water
  • Flexible rubber compound

Tyre review for Continental Sport Contact 7 245/40R18 97Y XL
For the past ten years, I have been using the same brand and model of tyres on my car and have never had a problem. Their reliability and grip in both wet and dry conditions has never given me any reason to consider a different manufacturer.

Tyre review for Continental Sport Contact 7 245/40R18 97Y XL
I have had Conti Sport Contact tyres on my vehicle for the last few years. Regarding price, they are very competitively priced for UUHP tyres compared to other alternative choices. The traction with these tyres is excellent in both the wet and dry, which is handy for driving a powerful front wheel drive. However, the Conti Sport Contact tyres do not last as long as the Michelin PS4S in the same size. But that is typical for soft UUHP tyres that provide exceptional grip.
