💡 Is the Continental sContact 155/70R17 a Good Tire?
The Continental sContact 155/70R17 is a temporary spare tire designed for mid-size sedans and compact crossovers. It offers adequate dry and wet performance for emergency use thanks to its basic all-season tread compound, though handling feel is limited compared to full-size tires. Ride comfort is acceptable for short distances with increased road noise due to the compact construction and higher air pressure requirements. Tread life is sufficient for its intended temporary use category. Rated Good by TireRack based on 81 consumer surveys, it serves well as an emergency backup but is not designed for extended driving or highway speeds above 50 mph. Currently priced from $147.22, it is available through major online tire retailers.
