πŸ’‘ Is the Continental SportContact 7 285/35R21 a Good Tire?

The Continental SportContact 7 285/35R21 is a summer performance tire designed for high-performance SUVs and luxury crossovers. It delivers strong dry grip and responsive wet weather handling thanks to its Black Chili compound and asymmetric tread design with macro blocks. Ride comfort is firm with noticeable road noise at highway speeds, prioritizing handling precision over refinement. Tread life is moderate for its category, as the soft compound optimized for grip sacrifices longevity. Rated 3.5/5 by TirePath, it excels in warm weather performance driving but is not winter-rated and may feel harsh for daily comfort-focused use. Currently priced from $483.02, it is available through major online tire retailers.
