    Opinion from outside the UK

    After buying and fitting new Continental ContiSportContact5 tyres, I was very positively surprised after the first kilometres driven. My car has close to 400 horsepower and I must say that the tyres do a great job in relation to the power and AWD. Absolutely sure handling on dry as well as wet pavement. I must admit that I had the opportunity to drive some more during snowy days. The continentals did not let me down in either. They were also tried on an asphalt track and gravel paths at high speeds. I will not write about tread wear, because everything depends on driver's imagination ;-) I highly recommend it for any car, you will not find a more universal tyre! To tell you the truth, Alladdin would be proud to have such a tyre on his flying carpet, and Ostrich the Pied Piper would certainly not brake any faster. Best regards to all Continental users, especially of the above-mentioned model :-) Read more Collapse

    Opinion from outside the UK

    I have been driving for 10 years and these are by far the best tyres I have ever bought. Very good dry and wet grip, no shortcomings as far as I'm concerned and I've been using them for about half a year now and the next tyre I buy will definitely be a continental. 100 % satisfaction.

    Opinion from outside the UK

    The tyres grip brilliantly on dry as well as wet pavement, even though my car is 5 metres long. Steady even on sharp turns. The braking distance is really short. They are quiet and absorb all bumps very well. I would recommend them to anyone who owns a high-powered limousine. Read more Collapse

    These are perfect for making progress with comfort, but if you want the sharpest handling at the expense of ride quality go for something with a stiffer sidewall like the Bridgestone Adrenalin Read more Collapse

    Very good and comfortable tire. Too creative rant tire safety. I can recommend with a clear conscience. Very good behavior on wet and b. Wet. Any slippage when starting with more than 300 horsepower engine. Read more Collapse
