Continental sContact 145/80R19 110M Temporary/Compact Spare Tire 03117930000
💡 Is the Continental sContact 145/80R19 a Good Tire?
The Continental sContact 145/80R19 is an all-season temporary spare tire designed for full-size SUVs and light trucks. It offers basic dry and wet traction adequate for emergency situations, with a narrow contact patch that prioritizes space-saving storage over performance. Ride comfort is firm due to the compact design, with increased road noise compared to full-size tires, while tread life is limited as it's intended for temporary use only. Rated Good by TireRack based on 81 surveys, it serves its purpose as an emergency spare but has a low M speed rating limiting highway speeds to 81 mph and should not be used for extended driving. Currently priced from $164.14, it is available through major online tire retailers.
