Continental Sport Contact 5 Reviews - Page 3

Fords O.E. tyres 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 tyres 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 tyre for the replacement.

These tyres 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 tyre. Good Year Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2's will be what I go for next.

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

Comfortable tyre 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 tyres in particular) which barely lasted 10,000 miles despite a gentle driving style.

These Conti's are fantastic tyres. 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 tyres 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 tyres 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 tyres did their job keeping the ride comfortable. They do well against potholes vs the Dunlops.

The tyres came factory fitted on the 2017 Renault Megane GT. The dry grip is lower than expected as the tyres 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 tyres. Had to replace the them at approximately 30,000km of sedate town driving.
Being a low profile tyre 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 tyres with the CSC5.

The Continental Sport Contact 5 is a good all round performance tyre that offeres good levels of dry and wet grip properties, whilst still delivering reasonable mileage and a good level of low rolling resistance for a large UHP performance tyre,

It's primary ride is quite harsh but the chassis helps to control and damp this well. The steering feel is responsive from very low steering input and response is quite linier and easy to control

Damping on the rear is good, tyres slightly noisy on very course road surfaces

Good all round balance

Very good tires (among the best I ever encounter) but the wear is just unacceptable
