Continental Sport Contact 5 Reviews - Page 3

I bought my used Mercedes four years ago and it had two just about legal Continental Sport Contacts on the front and new Yokohama Sport 245/45 R17 on the back. I immediately had the two fronts replaced with Continental Sport Contacts. Today I replaced those two tires again after 22,000 miles (35,000 kms). The Yokohamas are long gone as they covered only 9,000 miles. I have been very pleased with the Continentals. Handling, wear, wet and dry grip are excellent. Comfort is fine, especially considering my car has slightly lowered suspension. The tires are reasonably priced in the UK for a premium tire. The Yokohamas are just £1 cheaper each than the Continentals. I replaced the Yokohamas on the rear with 245/45 R17 Sport Contact 5, they have done 13,000 miles and I estimate they will cover another 4,000-5,000 miles on my rear wheel drive car which has an automatic gearbox.

4y9m, 75000km. Amazing tires all in all, at the end the tires looked like they had maybe 5000-8000km left in them when looking at the tread but a puncture opened up a box of shock, inside the tire there was about 3-4 handsfull of rubber "dust" from the tire slowly disintegrating, I've had a feeling somthing was off for the past 4 months or so as the tires behaved different at highway speeds so I kinda knew it was time to change but the fact that the tire visually from the outside looked fine but was falling apart inside was a bit of a shocker, so for anyone else out there if your tires starts to feel like they are unbalanced... have a look inside the tire.

Fords O.E. tires for our particular Fiesta ST-Line 140 PS. Consistently good performance all round, particularly good in wet, road noise could be better but essentially fine as do very few motorway miles. Low mileage use but often driven briskly with Italian road test ~ valves through the bonnet In lower gears ~ when safe to do so on our brilliant local ‘B’ roads. Rotated them at c.6000 miles.Tread depths all over 5.6mm approaching 9000 miles. Five mile trip three days a week plus more 50 mile+ ‘B’ road stuff as and when needed.

24 months old 10000 miles mainly in 30mph zone and need replacement on q5

Came with my new 1.6 diesel Renault kadjar. Front tires worn out after 22500 miles which I was disappointed but judging by other reviews I did very well. I found they didn't like going over the shiney road joining strips but overall grip in wet weather seemed pretty good. Will try a more reasonable priced tire for the replacement.

These tires were fitted on my Audi A3 Sportback when I bought the car. They were virtually brand new so I thought happy days... How wrong I was! They're so noisy and unforgiving. Handling and grip is excellent. I'm glad they don't wear well, means I can swap them to a quieter tire. Good Year Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2's will be what I go for next.

Excellent tire, but spending 1,300€ for 12-15k kilometers is a waste. Very disappointing wear capabilities.

Comfortable tire with good handling characteristics in both wet and dry. Did not have the opportunity to drive in snow. Would not buy again however due to very poor wear (front tires in particular) which barely lasted 10,000 miles despite a gentle driving style.

These Conti's are fantastic tires. We're fitted OEM and fronts lasted me 25000 kms. Rears still have 5.5mm.
Great grip in dry and wet, good feedback and braking.
Would only buy again if they were on offer due to the high wear rate.

These tires were OEM. After 16,000 kms the fronts have an average of 5.3mm remaining, and the rears 7.02mm.

I have no complaints with these tires and they seem to be wearing well

I had these fitted after the Dunlop Sportmax were worn out. I'd say there was this leap in comfort. There's definitely better grip on the road and cornering felt better. Comfort was the biggest chane i'd say. they're up there with the Michelin Primacy 3. I would've bought those over these but I had an offer price for these and they lasted me for roughly 20k miles. I don't do tracks but I do always drive around 100mph on the highway on average. And these tires did their job keeping the ride comfortable. They do well against potholes vs the Dunlops.

The tires came factory fitted on the 2017 Renault Megane GT. The dry grip is lower than expected as the tires start to lose grip and start squealling much too soon when driving enthusiastically. Wet grip is acceptable but not outstanding. The vehicle has never aquaplaned and/or lost grip in the wet. Probably because the car is driven slower in wet conditions.
The wear rate is the worst feature of these tires. Had to replace the them at approximately 30,000km of sedate town driving.
Being a low profile tire comfort is being sacrificed but in overall retrospect the NHV levels is good.
The vehicle has currently Goodyear Eagle F1's fitted, but is still too soon to compare these tires with the CSC5.
