Continental's brand new tyre the ContiSportContact 5 is an ultra-high-performance tyre that has been developed and tested with OE partners to give maximum safety and driving pleasure.Excellent handlingLow rolling resistance for enhanced fuel economyExcellent tyre lifeAnswering the demands of modern driving in both wet and dry conditions Continental... morehave researched new compounds to ensure optimum performance which combines with everyday comfort.The ContiSportContact 5 features a flexible macroblock design which gives an increased contact area with the road surface, the result of this is excellent grip and stability when cornering.Shorter braking distances are achieved by the use of the BlackChilli compound that uses grip resins and high structured racing carbon black on the tread for both wet and dry performance.The ContiSportContact 5 suits hot hatches and sports saloons for tuning and everyday driving.Note: Some sizes of this tyre may be available as a RunFlat tyre indicated by "RunFlat" in the speed rating drop-down, a ContiSeal self-seal tyre indicated by "CS" in the speed rating drop-down, or a ContiSilent tyre which is indicated as "CSI" in the speed rating drop-downIf you have any doubts about what tyres your vehicle needs, please get in touch.

The new ContiSportContact 5 - Control never has been sportier Unlimited driving fun thanks to excellent grip. With the launch of the ContiSportContact™ 5, Continental has developed a tyre which is equally suitable for sporty cars + SUVs with sporty driving characteristics. With this new development, the tyre engineers have made significant progress... morein camparison to the popular predecessor ContiSportContact™ 3: Shorter braking distances in all weather conditions. Excellent road grip and safety when cornering.  Reduced fuel consumption and high mileage. This was made possible due to a new compound which focuses on maximum power transmission and provides low rolling resistance whilst driving normally. This rubber compound which carries the name 'BlackChilli' uses the various vibrations of the tyre. For high-performance and luxury vehicles. The performance tyre, with outstanding handling and control. Engineered in Germany, Continental offers premium tyres with optimum braking performance and safety. With our Black Chilli Technology you have excellent road grip and handling just as safety when cornering. Highly recommended by Auto Bild in their summer tyre test 2014 (sizes tested: 225/50 R 17 W/Y). Highlights: Safety shorter stopping distance Performance excellent Handling High mileage potential Environment fuel efficient Excellent road grip and handling just as safety when cornering. The macro-block design of the tyre’s outside shoulder provides a larger contact area, which can therefore adapt optimally to the road surface. The ContiSportContact™ 5 offers improved road grip and thus more safety when cornering. Shorter braking distances in all weather conditions. When braking, the tyre has a high natural frequency within the compound. Short-chain polymers in the Black Chilli compound of the ContiSportContact™ 5 react to this braking frequency and thus provide optimal energy absorption. The resulting heat shortens the braking distance on wet and dry roads. Reduced fuel consumption and high mileage. At a constant speed, the vibrations in the compound are significantly lower. The long-chain polymers within the compound can release the absorbed energy better, resulting in considerably reduced rolling resistance. Thus, the tyre runs more easily and remains cool – for a higher mileage and a reduced fuel consumption. Continental SSR TiresSSR stands for SelfSupportingRunflat TireThe SSR principle:Unlike conventional tires, the SSR principle is based on a reinforced self-supporting sidewall. This prevents the inside of the tire from getting pinched between the road and the rim and from slipping into the rim well in the event of a loss of inflation. The SSR's reinforced sidewall enables the car to continue on its way at a maximum speed of 80 km/h (50 mph) for up to80 km (50 miles), depending on road conditions and vehicle weight.Communication between tire and driverBecause of the good riding comfort SSR tires afford, drivers hardly notice any
