Technical information
Focus: Sport
With sport tyres, grip in every situation is what decides — under hard acceleration, under braking, in the dry and in the wet. Continental CONTISPORTCONTACT 5 belongs to this group. Stability at higher speeds and precision through corners come on top of that. One thing drivers often underestimate when buying: grip comes from a softer compound, and a softer compound wears faster. Where a standard tyre covers roughly 40,000 km, a sport tyre manages about 20,000 to 30,000 km — and considerably less with a sharper driving style or a heavier, more powerful car.

What owners say
<p>This tyre wore out within 1 year/less than 10,000kms, from modest city drying. Don't waste your money, its wasn't even that enjoyable, felt spongy and wore out like a pencil rubber. Such a bad experience, cant believe a German brand ranges a tyre like this.</p>
<p>Great performance for my Kodiaq RS, excellent grip and handling for a SUV. Exceeded wear expectations. Much better than Pirelli Scorpion verdes for performance however less K’s as expected</p>
<p>Premature chemical hardening," "Severe compound thermal degradation at 16,000 km," and "Inappropriate 100V standard load factory specification for heavy 1.9-ton SUVs in hot climates.</p>
A very good stock Sport tyre, they lasted way beyond expected (62000km/7 years), rotated at 30000km (usually at 20000Km but forgot).
The rears are perfect worn, the fronts have some dry rot in last months.
I've been driving smoothly, only push them ocasionally on curvy, mountain and B roads.
Very good handling in perfect roads, dry or wet, never failed, but too harsh besides that and scary on potholes, but it is a 40 profile and the car suspension is too hard too... I can feel everything on the road, anything, these tyres seem like a block.
A little noisy and too pointy for me, could be more predictable and progressive at the edge and smoother to my liking.
Hope the next ones will be Hankook Ventus Evo or Michelin Pilot Sport 5 (too expensive).
I have Megane GT. Use Sport Contact 5 from inicial buy of the car. Always secure in dry ir wet conditions, but wear is short... Never less... Still use the same. Very good tires
