💡 Is the Continental sContact 135/80R18 a Good Tire?
The Continental sContact 135/80R18 is a temporary spare tire designed for mid-size SUVs and crossovers as an emergency replacement. It provides adequate dry and wet traction for short-distance driving thanks to its basic all-season compound, though performance is limited by its narrow profile. Ride comfort is acceptable for temporary use, with increased road noise due to the compact design and higher air pressure requirements. Tread life is not a primary concern given its intended short-term usage. Rated Good by TireRack based on 81 surveys, it effectively gets drivers to tire service centers but is not designed for extended highway driving or speeds above 50 mph. Currently priced from $130.22, it is available through major online tire retailers.
