Product description & features

  • Larger contact area that adapts to the road surface.
  • Black Chili technology leads to shorter braking distances.
  • Reduced rolling resistance for improved mileage and lower fuel consumption.

The Continental ContiSportContact 5 is an ultra high performance tyre developed and tested with OE car partners.

The Sport Contact 5 has been designed to deliver maximum safety mixed with driving pleasure.

Excellent stability throughout the life of the tyre is achieved with a 0° hybrid cap ply which also helps achieve precise steering, thanks to the tyre's circumferential stiffness and radial flexibility.

Sport Contact 5 tyres are available in 17 inch, 18 inch, 19 inch, 20 inch and 21 inch rim tyre sizes.

 Macro-Block Design

Continental have constructed the Sport Contact 5 with a supple marco-block design. This works to increase the total contact area between the tyre and road surface for added grip when cornering. This results in superb grip and stability when cornering.

Black Chilli Technology

Their use of ‘Black Chilli Technology’ - which is the combination of grip enhancing resins with highly structured carbon black - also aids in delivering short braking distances.

The tyres are excellent. The grip, cornering & general handling of the car is excellent. It is well worth investing in decent rubber. - Better than expected.
