Continental Sport Contact 5
The Continental Sport Contact 5 is a high-performance tyre that is designed to provide excellent performance and handling for sports cars, high-performance coupes and Saloons, and other vehicles that require a superior grip in dry and wet conditions. One of the most notable features of the Sport Contact 5 is its asymmetrical tread pattern. The outer shoulder blocks are large and designed to provide excellent cornering stability, which is essential for high-performance driving. The centre of the tread features a continuous rib that is optimized for high-speed stability and straight-line stability. The inner portion of the tread has smaller blocks and multiple sipes, which are designed to provide better wet traction and handling. The Sport Contact 5 also features Continental's Black Chili compound, which is a unique blend of synthetic and natural rubber that is designed to provide maximum traction and braking performance. This compound is infused with carbon black particles, which help to increase the tyre's grip on both dry and wet roads. Additionally, the Black Chili compound is designed to provide longer tread life, so you can enjoy high-performance driving for longer. To further improve the tyre's wet weather performance, the Sport Contact 5 features circumferential grooves and multiple sipes. These grooves help to evacuate water from the contact patch, which helps to reduce the risk of hydroplaning and improve wet traction. The multiple sipes help to increase the number of biting edges on the tyre, which further enhances wet weather performance. Overall, the Continental Sport Contact 5 is an excellent tyre for drivers who prioritize high-performance driving and handling. It is well-suited for dry and wet conditions.
