Continental Sport Contact 5

Fitted a pair of contisport contact 5 after reading several reviews, the car (1995 MR2 turbo)had terrible rear end grip with a cheep set of kendas fitted by the previous owner (who told me they were just a cheep set to mot and sell the car.)Fitted the contis and also had 4 wheel laser alignment and the handling of the car has been transformed.
I wanted a good allround sport tyre that would handle the odd track day.
Ran the car at Oulton park and was well impressed superb grip in the damp cool febuary conditions the track dried up and the tyres ran great no overheating issues and surefooted grip and very progressive on the limit never let go once then the rain came and they performed very well plenty of grip and feedback recomended with out hesitation

I just changed new CSC5 last week, this was my second times. I get very good driving experience and used almost 22,000 miles/1.6yr(40% town 60%highways). The top speed i 've reach was 140 miles/hr, CSC5 still stable and seems can run faster. very balance no matter in dry and wet ground. i will recommend to my frds if he wanna find a balance performance tires.
Four tires totally cost US$800 included install and alignment.

235 40 r 18 w on a 8j rim are standard on the car and do a descent job. U had to ease the power in on 1st and 2nd gears which is normal to stop 256 ftlbs overwhelming the fronts. Handling was nice to. Now I have just put 245 40 r 18 y's all round and the difference to my surprise is amazing. Better ride. Better rim protection. Better handling. Ecceleration is dramatically improved because I can now use some of the cars power rather than just lighting the fronts up. They look good and the car looks meaner. Very happy chappy. Defo buy again, continental have done well. These tyres are fantastic in the wet and breaking performance is unmatched. If I get 10000 miles out of them like my 235's ill be happy. Ps for the weather conditions in england and our roads you cant beat contisport 5's.

These tyres came as standard on my a250 which I purchased in the summer. Dry grip is as good as you get and wet grip is not much less than in the dry. Feedback is good but comfort it terrible, that being said my car has a very hard suspension set up so I can't be too judgemental. The problem with these tyres is when the weather gets cold they are absolutely useless when trying to find grip for hard accelerating. All in all I highly recommend these tyres just swap them for some winters once it gets cold.

Bought a full set of these for my 170hp Seat Exeo as they are standard fit. The car had previously been fitted with Primewell (which were surprisingly good).

After only 6000 miles the fronts need changing as they had worn down in the centre. Good tyres, good grip andquieter than the Primewell but 6000 miles is just ridiculous. Never again.

Managed 12,000 miles on them before they were completely shot. Probably should have replaced them a couple of thousand ago as they've not felt particularly stable since then.

Never felt like they gave much in the way of feedback, but then again I was always confident on them up until the last couple of thousand miles where they really fell off the mark.

As others have said, great grip in dry & wet but they wear out too quickly for me. I've swapped them today for a set of Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance which seem to be at the same price point with better euro ratings. I'll see how I get on with them (hopefully more durable).

These new conti 5's are the best iteration yet. I've got them fitted to a fiesta zetec S and they have worn really well after 13,000 miles of very spirited driving they still have 4.5mm of tread left on the fronts and 6mm on the back. I had conti sport contact 3's fitted to my previous fiesta and they were frankly rubbish, I constantly got bulges in the tyre walls and they didn't last well either. So there are a great improvement.

My only complaint is that in low temperatures they don't grip as well as I would like/expect(perhaps the compound is a bit hard?). They're not dangerous and the reduced grip is very predictable(progressive) but they have a tendency to light up a bit readily under hard acceleration.

Still a great tyre
