This is the first time that I have used a ContiSportContact3 from the CONTINENTAL premium range on a Ford S-MAX. Practically no complaints! In the meantime I had bought a new car which was fitted with tyres from another well-known manufacturer, which were just as good. However, the time had come to buy new tyres. After many comparative tests, the ContiSportContact5 in size 235/45/R18 was the right choice! The car grips the road perfectly, even in tight bends. Virtually no major changes in wet behaviour. The degree of wear is average, and the tyres have already covered more than 20,000 km, so I think they should safely last until 40-50,000 km. The only drawback may be the price, but it is a high-end product. The final assessment - very good tyres, I recommend.

Overall I am very happy with the tyres, they are quiet, look good, grip on sharp bends in the city at high speed is satisfactory, sometimes even surprising. The only thing I have doubts about is the emergency braking, I thought that when braking hard the abs would come on much later, but I have no comparison with other tyres new on this car so I leave the braking evaluation at neutral.

Hello, the original tyres for my Toyota are the unfortunate Bridgestone Dueler with BSR ring. Due to one of them leaking, I was forced to choose something to replace them. I was worried how the car would perform on tyres that have no ring and are softer than the pseudo run flats. Fortunately nothing bad happens and I can say that the choice was the right one.

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 :)

I am amused by the opinions of drivers who rave about the super continental, saying that the tyre does not wear out, and driving supposedly aggressively in super powerful cars. It's either a fairy tale or you really do drive like a jackass. I bought the tyres for my 2012 Passat B5FL, which gets beaten up day in and day out. I drive in Silesia on good roads, but I do not save tyres and after two seasons and 35,000 km the tyres have about 5 mm. In dry and wet conditions it is perfect, and what is important, the tyre does not rumble or tootle, which in the case of a powerful engine and lightweight rear often happens. I hope it will last another 2 seasons. I hope it will last another 2 seasons. Unfortunately, it squeaks when starting off dynamically in the dry, and starting off in the wet often triggers the ESP. Compared to the competition, it is definitely high, whether it is the best tyre on the market is hard to say, because as many drivers as many opinions. However, in comparison with Bridgeston or Vredestein I do not see any significant differences. Definitely the biggest plus is the compound, which at higher speeds in corners does not make the car float.

So far the tyres have not let me down. Superb in the wet and in the dry. I previously had michelin tyres and they were much quieter. I've only covered 7,500 km, but my impression is that they wear down quite quickly. Overall, I think it was a successful purchase.

Great grip, very good handling characteristics, but unfortunately it wears out insanely fast, after 3,000 kilometres 2-2.5mm of tyre is gone, in comparison the Pilot sports mounted on the other axle are still almost like new after the same distance.

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.
