Sport Contact 5

Continental SportContact 5 Tires

The Continental Sport Contact 5 tires are premium tires suited for high-performance luxury vehicles. These tires are known for their outstanding handling, giving you maximum control when driving no matter the speed. They are an outstanding value for money proposition due to the reduced rolling resistance. This results in the ability for improved mileage.

The ContiSportContact 5 uses Continental's Black Chilli compound molded into an asymmetric tread design that features a macro-block outboard shoulder that adapts to the road surface to improve road grip and cornering stability. Four circumferential grooves channel water to resist hydroplaning and enhance wet traction. A continuous center rib and notched intermediate ribs promote steering response and straight-line tracking.

The ContiSportContact 5's Black Chilli compound's short-chain polymers react to braking forces by building heat to shorten braking distance on wet and dry roads, while the compound's long-chain polymers release the absorbed energy more efficiently at constant speeds to reduce rolling resistance. Thus, the tire stops faster and remains cooler for longer life and reduced fuel consumption.

Features:

• Excellent road grip and handling just as safety when cornering
• Shorter braking distances in all weather conditions
• Reduced fuel consumption and high mileage

The ContiSportContact 5 is Continental's Max Performance Summer tire. Initially developed to match the sporty driving characteristics of Mercedes-Benz SLK350 roadsters, the ContiSportContact 5 is designed to combine short braking distances and good cornering traction with reduced fuel consumption and good treadwear. However, like all summer tires, they are not intended to be driven in near-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice.

The tire's internal structure features twin steel belts reinforced with spirally wrapped polyamide (a mixture of heat-resistant synthetic aramid fiber and nylon threads) that enhances the ride quality while tuning the contact area's vertical flexibility and lateral rigidity.
