Continental ContiSportContact 5 225/45 R17 91 Y FR, AO

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. Read more Collapse

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. Read more Collapse

Hi. If anyone, like me, has previously ridden on ContiSportContact 2 and CSC 3 do not buy this tyre. This tyre has nothing to do with those mentioned except the name. The tyre is made in germany. The worst is on dry asphalt. Starting off is much worse than with older models, not to mention when the road is slightly dirty. Cornering handling is adequate but not very firm, and with a load rating of 94 there is no comfort whatsoever when driving in town. I changed the Conti for the Pirelli model P Zero. The driving experience is like that of a cheap Chinese tyre. For me, the ContiSportContact ended with the 3 model, although I have the best memories of the 2. Regards. Read more Collapse

People, buy other tyres, I trusted the tests and reviews and was severely disappointed, my old Nokians 225/45/17 ZG2 XL held up much better in corners in the dry even though ContiSportContact 5 ( production 2015) I also bought XL, In the wet the Continental often switches on ESP in the Nokian sporadically happened, to this noisy even very comparable to the three-year-old Nokian, which I decided to change because of the noise they began to make, although the new owner says they are awesome for the money : ) The next tyres I buy will definitely not be Continentals.

I had a lot of trouble buying RSC tyres for the first time. I never knew which type to choose, but the salesmen were very helpful in finding the right tyre for my BMW. The tyre grips the road very well, the rim edge protection strip means that I am no longer afraid to lend the car to my wife... as the rims always look bad after she has driven them. The braking performance is sensational ;) Wear resistance is hard to judge, because I bought them recently, however I drove 15 000 km on them and they still look wonderful :) I highly RECOMMEND it :) Read more Collapse
