The Continental ContiSportContact 5 285/40R22 is a summer tire, designed for luxury SUV and high-performance vehicle drivers who prioritize responsive handling and strong braking performance in warm weather driving. Its asymmetric tread design and Black Chilli compound focus on maximizing grip in both wet and dry conditions while maintaining reasonable fuel efficiency.
The tire features Continental's Black Chilli compound with short-chain polymers that generate heat under braking forces to reduce stopping distances. Its asymmetric tread incorporates a macro-block outboard shoulder for enhanced cornering stability, four circumferential grooves for water evacuation, and a continuous center rib with notched intermediate ribs for precise steering response. Driver feedback indicates excellent dry performance with good wet traction and comfort, though treadwear is moderate for this performance category.
