Opinion from outside the UK

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. Read more Collapse

Opinion from outside the UK

Very good tyre for dry and wet asphalt. In the dry, very good grip on hard starts as well as on fast bends. And in the wet they show their other side. When I first drove it, I couldn't believe how much grip there could be in the wet. Even in deep ruts I had no problem with aquaplaning. A small minus for wear, because I do not know if they will last two seasons after 6,000 km, there is still 4.50 mm to the stops. But I am satisfied and I recommend it :) Read more Collapse

Opinion from outside the UK

If you prefer handling and performance to fuel consumption and comfort, you are on the right tyre. When I bought my car, they came with the previous generation of these tyres and I preferred these tyres when it was time to replace them. The previous ones were really durable. I guess these will be too. I definitely recommend them. Read more Collapse

Fine band. If in something smoother driving the XL version; the cheeks of the tire are stiffer so that the tire when cornering less distorted. This allows a tighter handling Read more Collapse
