Questions and Answers for the Continental Sport Contact 6

2016-03-28 - Does the Sport Contact 6 replace the Sport Contact 5?

No, the Sport Contact 6 replaces the 5P, so is currently only available in 19" and above.

2016-05-24 - I want 2X 225/40 R19 93Y sport contact 6 can you tell me does this tire have rim protection

According to Continental, that size of the Sport Contact 6 does have a rim protector

2016-04-29 - Hello. I want to buy Continental sport contact 6 in size 235/35 r19. Can You tell me what is the weight of one tire in this size? In Label Scores the weight of one tire in this size is 13+kilograms! If this information is true Sport contact in this size is really HEAVY. But I don't understand how I could be real, because 225/35 R19 88Y XL 9.08kgs 235/35 R19 91Y XL 13.25kgs 245/35 R19 93Y XL 10.25kgs

We've spoken to Continental and you are correct, our weight is wrong. The correct weight of the 235/35 R19 Sport Contact 6 is 9.431kgs, we will update the site soon.

2017-03-30 - have a rather strange question: I have just purchased brand new original BMW rims with 8.5 "x19" and mounted ContiSportContact 6 in size 245 / 40-19 at them. The hotter the tire become the more there will be an "extra" noise on top of the normal noise from the asphalt. It's like a kind of rung. It sounds just like to drive very extreme high pressure (air). Some claim that with alloy wheels in 19" and more, the rim (aluminum material) that goes in swings and the hotter the tire become the more increases the tire pressure and so goes the rim more and more in swing Is it a phenomenon others have heard of and if so, what can I do to stop the oscillation rim (do the rim sound-dead)?

Unfortunately this isn't something we have experience with. The Continental Sport Contact 6 is a well regarded tire in regards to comfort and noise, so it's unlikely to be the tires fault.

2018-04-03 - Hi im looking for bigger tires for my 2012 gtr r35, i had 255/40/20 and 285/35/20 run flat Bridgestone, Im thinking Conti SC 6 on 275/35/20 and 305/30/20, I know the bigger tires will fit in wheel arch but will they fit well with the stock wheels ?

Unfortunately I'm unable to advise whether the Sport Contact 6 will fit, I suggest visiting a GTR owners forum and seeing what people have already tried!

2018-06-07 - I have a chrysler crossfire. I want to change all tires for contisport contact 6. My car is front 225 40 18 front and 255 35 19 rear. Rears I can change but front contisport contact 6 only start 235 40 18 for front. Can I use this size. And if so would I have to change size of rears. Or could i use premium contact 6 on front correct size and contisport 6 on rear. What do you suggest?

I'm afraid I can not recommended either changing away from the OE sizes, or mixing tires. 225/40 18 should be in the Sport Contact 6 in the future, for now I would either use Premium Contact 6 all round or look at a comparable tire such as the Michelin Pilot Sport 4.

2018-12-23 - Hi, I am looking for new tires for fast SUV. I can only choose between Continental SportContact 6 and Michelin Pilot Sport 4 (there is no 4s in my size). What do you think will be better for spirited driving on normal roads (no track use)? Personally I am leaning more towards Conti because they suppose to be more "sporty". Are SportConact 6 = PS4S and PremiumContact 6 = PS4 competitor??

Yes, that is correct. The SC6 is a great tire, comparable to the MPS4S, but it can wear quickly in certain applications which is its only drawback.

2018-12-25 - Hi, I have a question regarding real tire width. Previously I used Continental Sport Contact 5P and currently I have Pirelli P Zero. Although both Conti and Pirelli are in the same size which is 295/30R19 the Pirelli is a lot wider. I have to replace tires and wanted to try Conti sportcontact 6. So the question is are SC6 also narrower (like 5P were) than other brands and how are they comparing to Michelin PS4S (are they wider or narrower?) or other brands?? I think this is very important topic and I realised it when I tried different types of tires. The real width is sometimes a lot different than label size. Could you elaborate on that?

All tires are allowed to be manufactured within a variance of that size. I'm currently just waiting back on hearing exactly what that variance is, however it should never be "a lot", and the variance found will have very little effect on performance as it will be less than changing sizes, check out our tire width video here.

I'm afraid only Continental will be able to answer where they designed the CSC6 to fit.

2019-05-04 - Hi, I am looking for new tires for a Boxster. The car is a daily, so wet performance is important. It has PS2s and of the later premium summer tires, the conti sport contact 6 seems to be the only option. How would you say this compares. Tire sizes are 235/35/19 and 265/35/19 TIA

THe Sport Contact 6 is much better in the wet than the tires like the PS2.

2020-04-22 - I am currently driving a BMW M2 (5/2017) - weekend car, no track. It came fitted std with the Conti SportContact3*, and I need to replace the rear tires now, the front ones are still fine (but will need to be replaced in 6-9 months). My understanding is that the SC3* is no longer available. What should I do? (1) Go for the Conti SportContact6 rear only, even if it has no */BMW accreditation (and replacing the front SC3* with the SC6 later) ; (2) Go for the Michelin SP4* rear only for a few months (any issue mixing with the SC3* in the front); or (3) Go with a full set of SC6 without the BMW warranty (any other downside?) or SP4*? All recommendations welcomed!

Watch our M2 UHP tire test on Youtube, there are plenty of good options.

2021-09-02 - hello i have currently an audi rs6 performance fitted from factory with contis sportcontact 5p 285/30/21 with R01 certification and contisilent tech my rims are 9,5/21inch and i am searching for new tires... Currently i can not find the csc6 in the same dimensions and the other tires in 285/30/21 have wider section width 11,4 (pz4 and ps4s) instead of 10,7 (csc5p) the difference is huge and the 9,5 rims are already at their limit... what is your suggestion?? For reference in tire rack the smaller 275/30/21 michelin ps4s has section width of 10,9 and a track width of 9,7 and the wider continental sport contact 5p 285/30/21 has section width of 10,7 and a track width of 10 !!!!! THIS MAKE NO SENSE AT ALL please help us because as i see many customers have encountered the same problem

In this case, sticking with OE might be the smartest move to protect the AWD system!

2023-05-20 - Do you know how the ContinentalContiSportContact 6245/35R20 CONTI SPCN6 95Y RFT XL performs after sudden deflation? I have mainly used Bridgestone runflat in the past, I have had one slashed by a piece of metal at high speed with absolutely no drama. I have used Michelin and Pirelli and both with simply low pressure deform like a standard tire.

As far as I'm aware, all the premium runflat products have a similar performance when deflated, there is fairly strict legislation and testing involving extended mobility tires so I wouldn't expect one to be better than another.

Great tire for driving and handling with supreme confidence in it but... oh boy the wear !!!
I don't drive or brake like a racer but at less than 6000 miles all 4 need replacing as tread just about legal !

I don’t know how people are getting under 20,000km on sport contact 6 you must be flogging your cars everywhere. I run these on a 2019 golf R wagon and I’m getting minimum 35,000km if I really take it easy I’ll get 40-45 thousand Km. These are a great tire they may not perform AS well as Michelin pilot sport or other high performance tires but they have great durability.

Great tires, but after 2 months of use, they had less than 1.6mm. Continental said they are designed to last at least 2500 miles and that is normal use.
Not worth the money, if you have to replace it after 2 monts.

Given 87% while driving a Ford Focus ST250 (235/40 R18) on a combination of roads for 15,000 spirited miles
Ran these on my MK3 Focus ST 2.0 ecoboost. Fitted prior to a Nurburgring trip from Ireland. Ran the GP circuit and the nordschleife on TF on wet and dry days. Also ran them daily and a track day at Mondello Park. Very very impressed with these tires. Reasonably priced Vs the Michelin's and Goodyear alternatives. Excellent fast road tire with some light track use. Profile of the tires on the 8J snowflake alloys are really good. Nice rim protection but not as good as Goodyear's assy 2. Only negative is that they wore down quicker than I would have liked. Although with 300 hp on a fwd turbo car without a mechanical diff you'd expect. Look forward to trying the SC7.

Given 82% while driving a Audi TT mk3 2.0TFSI quarttro (245/35 R19) on a combination of roads for 13,000 spirited miles
Fantastic tire, had a full set on my TT Quattro for 12 months now, not much tread left but overall idd say the short life is a small price to pay. Dry and wet grip is very good, particularly in the wet, they inspire confidence all the time. In conclusion, would probably buy again, mine are the OEM fitment and are the best tires I've ever bought despite the shorter lifespan.

Rubbish, stay away from them. Less than 10,000 km out of these and they already need replacing. Also the soft compound picks up stones easily and flings them up which will destroy the paint on anything that you're towing (discovered the hard way)

Given 79% while driving a BMW X3m (265/40 R21) on a combination of roads for 12,000 spirited miles
Bmw x3m stock tires. Dry grip warm weather is incredible.. and confidence inspiring. Dry cold the tires can produce some understeer when pushing. Wet grip cold an warm these tires surprised me with the amount of grip that had. 20,000kms and the rear are quite worn but I do launch the car fast off the lights often. The fronts can last another 2000kms roughly. Definitely recommend these if you get them for cheap

Given 60% while driving a Mercedes Benz CL500 (225/45 R17) on mostly motorways for 7,500 average miles
I got 7500km out of the set on the rear of the car. The tires run on a hot surface in Spain and the grip levels are very good even considering the slippery nature of Spanish roads in the dry. They also held onto grip fairly well in the wet. I would buy these tires again if they didn't wear so damn fast! Handling was good with good feedback, the tires are quite noisy. It's a shame as I really liked the tires but at 300 EUR a corner on my car I cannot justify chewing through them so quickly. I'm no boy racer but enjoy a spirited drive from time to time however most of their life has been motorway driving. As soon as they start approach the wear limit they are lethal and all confidence disappears especially in a near 2 ton car.

Given 81% while driving a Lexus CT200h (215/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 0 average miles
OEM Tires on the Lexus CT200h are Yokohama E70 Decibel. They are very noisy at motorway speeds, and UK rough road surfaces at low-ish speeds transmit unacceptable vibrations into the cabin. My winter set of 16” Goodyear Vector 4 seasons G3 are an improvement, but I don’t want to run those all year round. Tried 17” Michelin Primacy 4 - very heavy/sluggish steering feel, slight NVH improvement (but not as good as my winter set). Finally, got my set of Sport Contact 6 - comfier than the rest of these tires (as well as my 16” winters). Much quieter than OEM (which suits the CT200h very well). Not as sharp to turn in as the Yokos but actually, they suit the car very well - this is, after all, a small ‘luxury’ hybrid not a hot hatch. Good NVH. Good comfort. Good handling. Good grip. Finally nailed the right set of tires.

Had these on my new Audi A4 - only a 2L TDI FWD, but replaced front set after 14000 miles. 11000 miles later with some Pirelli P-Zeros and the same! Still have the original set of Continentals on the rear, though these need replacing asap!

Given 71% while driving a Alfa Romeo 147 GTA (225/40 R18) on a combination of roads for 4,400 spirited miles
The tires were awful IMHO. I know they have a hard time on this car due to the heavy front, but the tires suffered from massive understeer with a high tendency to washing out. In the wet it was risky because you has so much understeer and lack of progresiveness that you had to adjust carefully your speed to avoid going to a ditch. Straightline traction was good, though. Now with GY F1 Assym 5 I have much better grip and feeling. Front tires were done with 4400miles, but that's usual.
