Sidewall design and lettering style may differ from the photo shown. Please refer to the item specifics above for details.
The ContiSportContact 5P is Continental Tire\'s Max Performance Summer tire developed for the drivers of some of the world\'smost prestigious high performance sports cars, coupes and sedans. Tires in sizes used for staggered fitments are optimized to meet the specific performance requirements of front or rear axle positions.* The ContiSportContact 5P is designedto deliver steering precision, cornering stability and short stopping distancesin dry and wet conditions, However, like all summer tires, they are not intended to be driven in near freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice.
The ContiSportContact 5P benefits from a tread compound with Continental\'s Black Chilli Technology that features an innovative type of racing-grade carbon black to ensure a speedy warm-up along with special grip resins that optimize traction onwet and dry roads. These new carbon blacks and resins blend the rubber\'s flexibility (important for traction) with the tread\'s rigidity (important for handling). This compound is molded into an asymmetric tread design featuring a continuous center rib (or multiple ribs in wider sizes, especially those tuned for rear axle only applications) flanked by a large number of small, interlocked tread blocks. Circumferential grooves help water flow through the footprint to resist hydroplaning while the transverse block edges divert water away from the tread blocks to improve wet traction.
The tire\'s internal structure features a rolling resistance-optimized cap and base tread (\"cap\" on the outside with the \"base\"underneath), along with twin steel belts reinforced with spirally wrapped polyamide (a mixture of heat-resistant synthetic aramid fiber and nylon threads) thatenhance the ride quality while tuning the contact area\'s vertical flexibility and lateral rigidity.
*Because ContiSportContact 5P tiresare tuned for specific axle applications, each size is identified as \"Front/Both Axles\" or \"Rear Axle Only\" in Sizes, as well as in tire SPECS.

Overall, they\'re pretty great considering this car\'s intended purpose and intended road surfaces - great wet/dry traction, braking distanceand braking pedal feel, steering precision/response. If you mostly use your caron the track and/or you live in a location with warm/moderate climate and properly maintained roads - this is a good tire model to use, just as good as (or at least very close to) the Michelin\'s PSS. But! But if you\'re one of the very unfortunate, miserable souls who had great misfortune to live in a location with highly variable winter weather (sudden freezing temperatures quickly changing to above freezing and then dropping back to below 32F) and extremely poorly maintained roads/highways and you\'re still brave enough to drive your "sporty" car often on local streets - stay away from these tires. Any moderately (by NorthEastern "standards") irregular road surface combined with "sporty" suspension becomes a torture and there\'s a great amount of road noise being generated when driving on top of "worn out" asphalt/concrete road (even on a pretty flat surface without any bumps/potholes). I am one of such unlucky persons and I will definitely be trying out some other tire model instead which will hopefully be more quiet and at least a little bit "softer" when being driven on local roads because I really don\'t want to give up driving my current car or void its warranty by changing the coilovers.
Review from June 21, 2015Rating: 8.38Replacing the OEM tires on the car, a marked improvement in terms of general ride, comfort, confidence, lower noise. No oddities. Very nice product.
Review from May 24, 2015Rating: 8.62I have driven them all, and this is easily the most compliant street tire I have ever used - so light. There are other great handling tires out there, like the Michelin Super Sport, butthis, the Conti 5P, IMO, is the one!!
