Great tires, especially in wet conditions, but only got 30,000km from a set though.
Continental Sport Contact 5 Owner Reviews
Review this tireWhat owners say summarised from 198 reviews
Drivers generally describe the Continental Sport Contact 5 as a confidence-inspiring UHP tire with strong dry and wet grip, sharp steering response, and secure braking-especially praised in rain and at speed. However, the dominant complaint is very fast wear (often on the front axle), which many feel makes it poor value despite the premium price. A smaller but recurring theme is increased road noise and a firmer/harsh ride as the tire ages or on coarse surfaces.

Very good grip with excellent steering feel, comfort and low rolling resistance, along with not over-heated when required, so I think that will last much more than other sports tires.

A great tire!!! I put these tires recently and I'm very happy! Excellent in dry grip. I don't taste it yet in wet. Better than the CSC3, which is replacing!!! Very comfortable and quieter! Let you know about the wear later!
