Continental ContiSportContact 5 245/50 ZR18 100Y

The Continental ContiSportContact 5 tire is a summer model that is perfectly suited for fast cars and crossovers with sporty characteristics. It has excellent operating characteristics, which are achieved as a result of an extensive research program, as well as numerous tests conducted during the development stage: a reduction in braking distance on any surface, a 10% reduction in rolling resistance, and a 13% increase in mileage. These achievements are ensured by the use of an innovative rubber compound that guarantees maximum transmission of braking forces and contributes to low rolling resistance.

A feature of this rubber compound, called BlackChilli, is its excellent ability to adapt to different frequencies of tire vibration. Also, engineers have managed to improve handling characteristics, especially when driving in a sporty style. The innovative properties of the BlackChilli rubber compound consist in its rapid adaptation to the features of the road surface.

The presence of macroblocks on the outer shoulder increases the accuracy of control, as well as the sporty characteristics of movement. When passing turns, the contact patch of the Continental ContiSportContact 5 tire with the road moves to the outer shoulder, which transmits the bulk of the efforts necessary for accurate control. Due to the large and powerful blocks located on the outer shoulder, excellent handling and an increase in the contact patch with the road surface are achieved.

The use of such solutions ensures accurate and safe driving even at high speeds. The presence of a large number of lamellas and four water-conducting channels provides for the rapid removal of water from the contact patch, reducing the effect of aquaplaning. After production, the tire undergoes thorough quality control, so it meets all world standards. The tire has an excellent quality-to-price ratio, so it is in high demand among consumers.
