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 7 255/35R19 96Y XL
Excellent grip, even when it rains, and you can feel the braking distance is reduced. However, they do wear down a little fast.

Tyre review for Continental Sport Contact 7 255/35R19 96Y XL
I may not be the most qualified here but these tyres seem to do their job. Although, it is difficult to assess since you would need to be able to compare these directly and say if they are better or worse, which is impossible. My only concern may be the wear on the tyres, however, once again, I have nothing to compare that to.

Tyre review for Continental Sport Contact 7 255/35R19 96Y XL
Definitely an improvement from the last tyres. Traction is noticeably better and the ride is quieter and smoother. They also performed well during the drive through the Alps this year.
