I do not recommend this tyre. I have driven about 20,000 km on it in a relatively quiet manner (average fuel consumption 9.5 l/100 km engine 4.2 l diesel on our roads) and the tyres are worn to 70 %. On dry pavement, traction is good, in rain they are very slippery, and in ruts it's like on a rally - constant wheel slip from 90 km/h. They are not able to drain water in a layer thicker than 1 cm - I tested them on wet asphalt. Noise level higher than on winter tyres. I've changed the pressure from 2.2 to 2.8 bar, but it doesn't improve driving comfort, and this is an A8 with air suspension. The tyre quality is quite good, the maximum balancing weight is 30g, which for a 19 inch tyre diameter is not bad. I take care of my car as it is a working tool and will not buy Continentals again. Regards

I bought these tyres after doing a perfect 60000km with the sportcontact2, what can I say, they are perfect tyres, I have never had any problems with loss of grip, nor has it ever happened that some electronic stability control light came on, and between these sportcontact5 and the 2 I have covered more than 100,000km in all weather conditions. I would definitely recommend them and as far as I'm concerned, I'll only ever use Continental for both summer and winter tyres.

A versatile tyre for high performance cars, good on dry and wet roads, and that's what it's supposed to be. As for durability, on average I change front tyres every year. I've seen comments criticizing durability, which is not true, I mean there are tyres that wear faster and don't offer as much grip and comfort, the critical comments are a kind of anti-advertising. By comparison I had Dunlop Sport Max, Bridgestone Potenza, Yokohama Advan A10, Good Year Asymetrico.

Front drive car 200km, I drive quite fast, they have saved me a few times, they are my best tyres I have had, the only and biggest downside- they only lasted me a year! For one year I covered about 25,000 km. I have had many other tyres on the same car before, from Michelin HP, Turanza, dunlop sp 01 sprot, pirelli P7, toyo proxes ... there was a lot, but the continental really stands out for its wet and dry grip, cornering and braking.

I have a Golf V GTI DSG (200hp, front drive, car weighs about 1300kg), tyres size 225/45 R17 91Y. My previous summer tyres were Bridgestone Potenza S001 - a big mistake in my car. These Continentals, on the other hand, are really good. Very, very good. They have excellent grip in corners, and their performance in the wet is simply exemplary. The only disadvantage I found was when starting off: they lose grip, and in the wet they lose a lot of it. Granted, unlike the Potenz S001, the car doesn't dance around on the road and the ESP doesn't go crazy, but it's still not ideal. Unfortunately, I don't think there is a tyre that offers super grip and resistance to aquaplaning (or is there?). Also, the tyres are quite noisy - but I guess all UHP tyres are like that. In general, I recommend them highly, and I think my next summer tyres will also be from this series - unless I buy Pirelli P Zero or some Yokoham.

Best offer at a reasonable price. Car runs like a clockwork, responds to every movement of the steering wheel.
