I had these Conti Sport contact 5 fitted from New on 18 inch rims when I upgraded from thr stock 205/60 r16 tires and rims my BMW F30 320i came out with. They had very good dry grip and even the occasional "hooligan" antics didn't produce any scary or unpredictable behavior. (even though the car had only 135kw and 270nm) They were comfortable on motor way or by road speeds. They were the SSR versions so ride comfort was never comparable to regular tires. I had the occasional heavy rain stirm that's so common in Johannesburg South Africa. They handled standing water well and I never felt aquaplaning. Very smooth tarmac could produce a slight slip or slide that thr traction control caught out. But regaulr road surfaces never caused a slide. The only negative was wear rate. The rear tires were half worn by 10000km. The fronts about a quarter worn. I roared at 10000km to place the worn CSC5s on thr front axle of the Beemer. They wear a lot but they area a soft sporty Tire that's not marketed for longevity. I also wished that had a better rim protector as I accidentally scuffed or curbed the rims on thr offside more than a few times. I even experienced a 6 inch nail penetrate the rear left Tire at about110kph and it lost pressure but I continued to drive at about 90kph for about 100km until I cold get it patched or plugged. I love the grip these SC5s gave but they wore out too fast on a moderately powerful 320i F30 BMW. They also had good water clearing ability and predictable behavior. Good steering response

Changed the tires on my BMW 428I M sport from Bridgestone Potenza which were a very hard & noisy tires to Continental Sport and the improvement in the handling and road noise has been dramatic.
The Conti Sport 5 tires are very predictable when pushed hard and offer just the right amount of road feeling through the steering. I have covered nearly 15k miles since they were fitted and I have less than 2mm of tread wear on all 4 tires.
The only issue I have with these tires is the aqua plaining when driving in the wet, compared to the Pirelli PZero's I had fitted on my previous vehicle which were excellent in the wet.Seriously considering Michelin Pilot's next time I change my tires.

These are very good for a runflat tire, good dry and wet road holding and progressive break away, these just wear far far to fast I got no less than 6k miles from them and that’s Mainly my wife driving to shops and doing short runs! Will be paying bit more for the Michelin PS3 ZP next time for better wet performance and far more longevity.

I've never driven a BMW or any car with runflat tires before, so much of this is guesswork.
The Continentals grip extremely well in the dry, no doubt about that and I never came close to the limit.
They also generally grip well in the wet, although I did have one problem where the car aquaplaned on a bend that I know well and wouldn't normally have expected it to happen.
Although I drive mostly motorway speeds, I've found tire wear to be very good. I'm looking for replacements as one front tire is on the limit at 34000 miles. I'd guess the rears (same tires, but 255/40) are good for another 10k.
The big downside of these is the road noise. I find them very noisy, but how they compare to other runflats, I couldn't say.

These came with the car new, and now at 20k (km), it is about 1.5mm or there about from the tread wear indicator - it's a bit of a surprise, i was expecting these the last to at least 35k. That is why i'm venturing here to research for the replacement.

Frankly i don't mind run flats at all. My previous car was a bmw 1 series, and with that car, each set of tires last to 40k. Apart from its durability, I don't mind these tires at all.

Great tires, as long as your a millionaire and can replace them every few thousand miles, have them fitted on my BMW 335D and brand new these tires are only 6.8mm tread! disgraceful!, they come as standard on BMW's so its a nice little deal there from conti and BMW, all they need to do is renew once at £200 corner and continental have made a huge mark up, it's a disgrace how tire manufacturers are allowed to sell tires brand new with such pitful tire tread depth and mileage life

I got 12.5k out of the rear tires fitted from the factory. Front tires are over half way worn but still some left. Combination of comfort and sport mode, town and motorway driving. Great tires but I wish they lasted longer cos for my wide wheels they cost a bomb! If I mash the throttle on a corner in the wet the back will step out but in the dry I cant get them to let go at all with 205bhp RWD - Mercedes C250 AMG Line.

These lasted 13,000 miles on my BMW 435d X drive on the front - changed at 1.9mm. Dry grip was decent. Wet grip okay but wet braking was terrible. As they wore out the grip declined. Making an emergency brake when it was down to 3mm felt a bit dangerous. Comfort was okay and road feedback good. A progressive tire and decent handling. The wear rate was shocking though - especially in summer months! The more they wore the worse they became. I wouldn’t buy these again due to wear and lack of wet braking ability. Fuel economy was also poor. These are summer tires though so forget about trying to use them in ice/snow. Most definitely not for any winter conditions - you need winter tires for that if you are the type of person who leaves summer tires on in the winter! For the same price bracket you can do way better! For example, the Goodyear RFT.

Got my car with these tires on it and put 5,000 hard miles on them and they wore great and gripped well. There was 17,000 miles on them when I changed to a new pair the exact same and I could have got another thousand or two miles out of them but no point wearing them down to the last when I drive a F30 320D with a remap with loads of torque.

Good quality tires. I found the wear rate to be excellent. Wet grip was a bit iffy for me. E90 BMW 320 would often lose grip on the back wheels in the wet with these tires, sometimes suddenly. For me, the firmness of the ride was bordering on bone shattering. I replaced then with a set of Michelin and for that reason alone, I don't think I could ever go back to the Continentals.

Was a great tire on my BMW 328. Grip and handling were amazing. I was not so happy with the wear though. They only gave me 2 years of short distance school runs. My run flat versions are also pretty noisy, and make some scary noises over the bumps. My curb side rims are also pretty scratched up, so any rim protection these tires are supposed to have are not sufficient.

OEM fitment for mk3 A class with 1.5L 109 HP diesel engine.
It is a shame that german manufacturers fit Continental's from factory. These were not only bad like my Conti SC2's OEM fitted for my VW rocco, but much worse.
As I expected dry and wet grip was pretty good, but for only like 8000 miles. As the SC2's before, grip went downhill and at 27000 miles, and after 2 rotations, tires were balding on the edges, despite having correct tire pressure at all times. The worst was that after rotating the tires, a very annoying noise emerged, because the rear right tire was cupped all over and in the front axle all noise was transmitted to the cabin. Being runflats as the tire aged to 2 years old, comfort declined sharply. Fitted GY Assymetric 3's after enduring all this for some time. Never felt better
