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 7 255/40R21 102T XL
I replaced the factory-specified Premium Contact 6s on my Golf R Estate with Continental Sport Contact 7s. These tyres increase confidence and give great feedback. They manage to not make the ride too harsh on the UK's notoriously terrible roads. They also take a severe beating, like the time I hit a pothole so hard I bent a front wheel and the tyre came out looking great after a pro inspection! These are the best rated tyres by all the professionals and I completely agree.

Tyre review for Continental Sport Contact 7 255/40R21 102T XL
They might be just as good as the previous ones, but perhaps they will provide some better grip. I'll be satisfied if they last a little longer.

Great tyres! They're super quiet, have excellent grip when wet, and they've even got a rim guard.

Tyre review for Continental Sport Contact 7 255/40R21 102T XL
I drive calmly and am not a Formula 1 driver, yet they still perform well on wet and dry roads.
