💡 Is the Continental sContact 125/90R16 a Good Tire?
The Continental sContact 125/90R16 is an all-season temporary spare tire designed for mid-size family sedans and compact crossovers. It offers adequate dry and wet traction for emergency use with a basic tread compound designed for temporary mobility rather than performance. Ride comfort is firm and road noise is noticeable, as expected from a compact spare with limited tread depth and reinforced sidewall construction. Tread life is intentionally limited since it's designed for temporary use only, typically rated for speeds up to 50 mph and distances under 50 miles. Rated Good by TireRack based on 81 consumer surveys, it serves its purpose as an emergency spare but is not intended for regular driving or extended use. Currently priced from $122.03, it is available through major online tire retailers.
